According to the Tinetti Assessment Tool, a score between 25-28 indicates what level of fall risk?

  1. High risk of falls

  2. Moderate risk of falls

  3. Low risk of falls

  4. No risk of falls

The correct answer is: Low risk of falls

A score between 25-28 on the Tinetti Assessment Tool indicates a low risk of falls. This assessment tool evaluates an individual's gait and balance, which are crucial indicators of fall risk. A high score reflects better stability and functional mobility, suggesting the individual is less likely to experience falls. In the range of 25-28, the individual has sufficient balance and gait stability, which correlates with a lower risk of falls in various environments. Recognizing these thresholds is essential for developing appropriate fall prevention strategies and interventions. Lower scores would indicate higher levels of concern regarding stability and increased fall risk.
