Formative Assessment Flashcards
Assessment and measurement in clinical practice can be completed through which methods ?
Clinical assessments (for example goniometry)
Audit (supported by clinical guidelines)
Clinical assessment (for example goniometry)
Patient feedback
Service evaluation
Assessments and Measurements in Health and Rehabilitation monitors and evaluates the ( X ) of clinical practice?
Quality
Size
Type
Age
If the results of a trial are not internally valid, external validity is irrelevant. True OR False?
True
List examples of reasons why therapists continue to use non-standardise assessment?
Lack of appropriate standardised assessments
Poor resources which limit their ability to purchase standardised measures
Standardised assessments can be long to carry out/ time consuming.
^ This results in exhaustion of clients
Specificity and sensitivity relate to ( X ) validity
Specificity and sensitivity relate to criterion validity.

If a patient is asked to walk for 6 minutes around a 10m course and you don’t have a room so change the course to 8m. Thi is not a standardised test. True OR false ?
True
Standard assessments have a set ( X ) procedure to ensure minimal variation and reliable in the way test are carried out at different times by different testers.
Standard assessments have a set UNCHANGING procedure to ensure minimal variation and reliable in the way test are carried out at different times by different testers.
When determining a new test’s sensitivity and specificity, Which of the following can be used to compare against the outcome of the test.
Gold standard
Benchmark
Traditional test
Reference standard
What are three definition of standardised assessments?
Ensures minimal variation in the way test are carried out at different times by different testers.
Reduces the amount of variation in test administration helps to make a test more reliable.
Makes assessments more reliable when used over time or used between different therapists.
These factors might be confounding errors when completing the 6 minute walk test.
Mood
Cognition; for example confusion
Outcome measures are used to document changes over time (for example range of movement) and explain why the change has occurred. True OR false ?
False
When completing a test, following the test’s standardised instructions fully ensures, what three things ?
Inter-rather reliability
Inter-rater reliability
Sensitivity
When specificity is high and the test is positive, you can be confident this is a true positive. We often refer to this as …
SpPin
A false negative is…
Individuals or patients that test negative BUT DO have the condition or disease
Which one is NOT a confounding factor when considering Heart Rate Measurement
Cardiac Condition
When measuring joint Range of Motion, along with using bony landmarks and a goniometer, how could you identify that the measurement you were taking was sensitive?
Repeat Measurements
A false positive is
Individuals that test positive BUT DO NOT have the condition or disease
( X ) validity is the extent to which a tool/device measures what it is supposed to
instrument validity is the extent to which a tool/device measures what it is supposed to
( X ) in a clinical setting, relates to whether or not the anticipated therapeutic outcome is achieved during the therapeutic process
Effectiveness, in a clinical setting, relates to whether or not the anticipated therapeutic outcome is achieved during the therapeutic process
(X) indicates how well a specific test detects people WITHOUT a specific condition or disease.
Specificity indicates how well a specific test detects people WITHOUT a specific condition or disease.
Standardised outcome measures are used to demonstrate whether or not your interventions are effective. True OR False?
True
In order to ensure a valid test result , which of the following scenario is correct
The test should be completed in an environment as close to real the world as possible.
The test instructions can be deviated from if the clinician needs to change it
A patient should not have any assistance after the instructions have been given
The test should always be completed within a clinical environment
External validity ensure the observed result represents the truth in the population you are studying, and are not due to methodological errors. True or false.
False
