ICD-Code U53.20: Charité Mobility Index [CHARMI]: 5 points
Your mobility is restricted.
At the beginning of your hospital stay, your mobility was assessed. There are various ways of doing this. These include checking whether you can roll over from your back onto your side while in bed. Sometimes, the ability to sit up or get up is also evaluated. In addition, the distance a person can walk may be measured. The time taken may also be recorded in the process. Climbing stairs may also be part of the test. Mobility can also improve or deteriorate over time.

- G: Confirmed diagnosis
- V: Tentative diagnosis
- Z: Condition after
