Which item assesses toilet transferring capability?

This question focuses on functional mobility in a specific daily task—the ability to transfer to and from the toilet. Toilet transferring capability is about safely getting on and off the toilet, including whether the person can do it independently or requires supervision or assistance, and whether their safety equipment (like grab bars) is being used properly. The item that explicitly assesses toilet transferring capability is the one that targets this exact transfer task, evaluating independence, the need for help, and safety in the bathroom. It is distinct from other domains: a cognitive/behavioral symptoms item measures mental status and behavior; an ambulation capabilities item looks at walking and general movement, not the specific toilet transfer; and a social isolation item addresses social connections and isolation. So the toilet transferring-focused item best matches the requirement of assessing this particular functional task.
