The Tinetti Test (TT), or Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA), is a common clinical test for assessing a person's static and dynamic balance abilities.[1] It is named after one of the inventors, Mary Tinetti. The test is in two short sections that contain one examining static balance abilities in a chair and then standing, and the other gait.[2] The two sections are sometimes used as separate tests.[3]
It has numerous other names, including Tinetti Gait and Balance Examination, Tinetti's Mobility Test, and Tinetti Balance Test; the wide variation in naming, test sections and cut off values sometimes cause confusion.[4]
