The Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) is a valid, reliable, and responsive tool to measure functional changes in daily activities over time.

The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is a quick and reliable tool to assess frailty in older adults, predicting hospitalization, care needs, and mortality risk.

Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC-2) is a standardized test for ages 3–16, widely used to assess fine/gross motor skills and identify delays.

Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) and PEDI-CAT assess children’s functional skills, independence, and caregiver support needs.
