School of Allied Health, University of Connecticut, Storrs, USA

Objective: To determine the extent of use of the Rivermead Mobility Index (RMI) in published research and document findings relevant to the RMI in that research.

Design: Literature search and document analysis.

Results: Eight research articles in which the RMI was used were found. The RMI was described as reliable, correlated with other published scales, and responsive to changes over time.

Conclusions: The RMI possesses characteristics desirable in a measurement scale. It warrants broader application.
