What is the FIM?
The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) is an 18-item clinical tool that measures disability level and the burden of care in persons with functional limitations. It is widely used in inpatient rehabilitation settings.
What do the FIM levels mean?
Level 7 = complete independence, 6 = modified independence, 5 = supervision, 4 = minimal assist (75%+ self), 3 = moderate assist (50–74%), 2 = maximal assist (25–49%), 1 = total assist (< 25%).
