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.
[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.
