Hi, I did my thesis on a Wellness Program and used the Tinetti and Berg as
outcomes. Attached is the Berg which I got from the source and write to
Dr. Mary E. Tinetti
Yale University School of Medicine
Department of Internal Medicine - Geriatrics
333 Cedar Street
P.O. Box 208025
New Haven, CT 06520-8025
for the POMA Peforance-Oriented Assessment of Mobility package, there was a
$5.00 handling charge for this material.
Good Luck, any other questions E-mail me at [log in to unmask]
