What is the maximum score on the FSS-ICU?

• A. 20
• B. 30
• C. 32
• D. 35

Answer: (D)

FSS-ICU is scored by evaluating five mobility-related tasks, with each task rated on a 0 to 7 scale. Adding up the five items gives a maximum of 5 × 7 = 35. So the highest possible total is thirty-five, reflecting full independence across all tasks. A higher score indicates better functional status in the ICU and is used to track rehab progress over time. The tasks typically cover core ICU mobility activities like rolling, supine-to-sit transfers, sit-to-stand/bed-to-chair transfers, standing balance, and walking.
