Participation Measure for Post-Acute Care

The Participation Measure for Post-Acute Care (PM-PAC) is a brief, clinician-administered tool designed to measure functional participation and independence in hospitalized rehabilitation patients across self-care, mobility, cognition, and social domains. Developed by Wang, Hart, Stratford, and Mioduski, PM-PAC is widely used in inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRF) and skilled nursing facilities (SNF) to track progress, predict discharge outcomes, and inform therapy intensity planning.
