    In Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy, (2012), 79(3), 167-174. Authors: Fioravanti, A. M., Bordignon, C. M., Pettit, S. M., Woodhouse, L. J., & Ansley, B. J.
    The purpose of the journal was to compare the AMPS and the FIM on an inpatient rehabilitation unit. A retrospective chart review of AMPS measures and FIMS scores at admission and discharge was undertaken. No significant difference was found in the ability of the AMPS motor and FIM motor scales to detect change. The AMPS process scale was more responsive to change than the FIM cognitive scale. Using the AMPS as an assessment to evaluate outcomes allows therapists to detect changes that may not be detected through the exclusive use of the FIM.
