This session will present updated developments in the Functional Mobility Assessment (FMA) registry along with the development of accompanied Uniform Data Set (UDS). Challenges and strategies associated with the implementation of standardized measures in clinical routine and associated data collection, aggregation, and analyses will be discussed from previous work and current collaborations with VGM/U.S. Rehab, The Ohio State University Medical Center, and Veteran's Administration.
