Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Tinetti assessment?
The Tinetti Balance and Gait Assessment is a clinical tool that evaluates fall risk through two components: a balance section (16 points maximum) and a gait section (12 points maximum), for a combined total of 28 points.
How do I get my balance and gait subtotals?
A trained healthcare professional observes and scores each individual balance and gait task according to the standard Tinetti assessment protocol, then sums each section separately to get the two subtotals this calculator uses.
What Tinetti score indicates high fall risk?
A total score below 19 out of 28 is generally considered high fall risk, a score of 19 to 23 is moderate risk, and above 23 is considered low risk.
Should I use this to self-assess my fall risk?
No. This calculator is an educational reference only, not a substitute for professional clinical assessment. The individual tasks require trained observation to score correctly.
