Σύνοψη	The Tinetti Balance and Gait Assessment (also known as the Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment or POMA) is a performance-based evaluation tool developed by Mary E. Tinetti in 1986 to assess balance and gait abnormalities in older adults. The battery combines direct observation of balance maneuvers and walking pattern with a systematic scoring rubric, identifying individuals at high risk for falls and functional decline. It is widely used in geriatric clinics, rehabilitation settings, and fall prevention programs as a practical yet sensitive assessment of mobility impairment.	The Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS) is a comprehensive, nine-domain assessment tool developed by Rolfson and colleagues in 2006 to systematically evaluate frailty across multiple physiological and functional dimensions in older adults. Combining clinical judgment with objective testing, the EFS assesses cognition, general health status, functional independence, social support, medication use, nutrition, mood, continence, and functional performance, providing a multidimensional frailty profile. It is widely used in geriatric clinics, acute care settings, and research to characterize the nature and severity of frailty.
