The AIM-T (Activity Independence Measure-Trauma (AIM-T) is a new, evidence-based clinical tool to support the rehabilitation of patients who have suffered traumatic injury. AIM-T supports health care professionals to measure patients’ independence in daily life activities.

These guidelines present the main principles driving the AIM-T, and provides detailed information on the 12 activities, the scoring system and necessary equipment. It helps professionals and leads them in using the AIM-T tool.

The pocket cards are based on the guidelines, developed for bed-side use by healthcare professionals. For each of the 12 activities, it includes an illustration and summarises key messages.

To find out more about how to use the AIM-T practitioners should visit the e-learning course on DisasterReady.
