The Bed Bridge Test: a new functional test for hospital inpatients - a feasibility and measurement study.

Purpose: To develop and assess the Bed Bridge Test's (BBT) feasibility, safety, and clinimetric properties and evaluate functional capacity in hospitalised patients.

Materials And Methods: This feasibility and measurement study examined four BBT versions, including the timed-limited at 30 and 60 s and repetition-limited at 5 and 10 times, in hospitalised patients in a university hospital in Brazil.
