This paper describes the IRAF Instrument with an example included.
IRAF is an instrument developed to support education, communication and assessment within the field of safe and gentle person transfers. IRAF encompasses both the level of independence and the qualitative aspects of the movement performance to clarify the individual’s need of support in daily life transfers to guide how to provide safe and adequate support, i.e., in what way, how much and in what stage of the transfer. Additionally, the aim is to create a common language for person transfers among patients, healthcare providers, family care givers, and teachers within different contexts, such as hospitals, rehabilitation centres, home care and educational institutions. The IRAF is today a paper-based instrument and is currently under development in a digital format.The purpose of IRAF is to provide structure for and facilitate the analysis and assessment of an individual’s mobility in physical activities in daily living to enhance understanding and communication of an individual’s level of independence(LI) and the quality of movement performance (MP).
