สรุป	The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) is an 18-item standardized assessment of functional status and disability that measures the level of assistance required for activities of daily living (ADLs) and mobility in individuals with disabilities. Developed by Granger and Hamilton in the 1980s, the FIM has become a standard outcome measure in rehabilitation medicine, enabling comparison across facilities and tracking recovery progress from admission through discharge.	The Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) is a submaximal exercise assessment measuring the total distance a person can walk in six minutes at a self-selected pace. Developed by Guyatt and colleagues in 1985, the 6MWT has become the standard submaximal functional exercise test for patients with cardiopulmonary disease, quantifying exercise tolerance and predicting outcomes in conditions ranging from chronic heart failure to pulmonary hypertension to neuromuscular disorders.
