title: Rivermead Mobility Index: a brief review of research to date.
abstract: 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.
  
  
  METHODS
  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.
