Challenges of objective physical function assessments in clinical settings. Key obstacles include: (A) space constraints—limited room for assessments; (B) time demands—assessments require significant time; (C) human resources—shortage of trained personnel; (D) specialized instruments—need for specific equipment; and (E) fall risk—ensuring patient safety and managing fall risk. These barriers make single assessments difficult during clinical courses. Additionally, the manual nature of these evaluations can lead to interrater variability, complicating their broader implementation.
