ICF and Outcome Measures Flashcards
what could be under body functions and structures
injury severity
neurologic level
cognition
fitness level
what goes under activities?
ADLs
mobility in the home/community
physical activity and exercise
what goes under participation
quality of life
IADLs
community participation
social engagement
self-care and self esteem
work/employment
what is the importance of outcome measures
get a comprehensive assessment of the problem
observe any change
what is a good outcome measure
easy to administer
not inconvenient the patient
relevant/applicable to clinical setting
assists in classifying the patient’s
impairment/ setting goals / prognosis and assessing response to intervention
has good psychometric / measurement properties
what are the 3 main reasons why we use objective measures
discriminate between impairment level of each patient
determine prognosis
evaluate change in status over time
what are latent traits? examples
pain, disability, balance
typically cannot quantify objectively how much of each of these are present but it can be seen or discussed
ie = balance can be improved but cannot be quantified across every patient
what is performance based testing
clinician administered outcome measure where a patient performs specific tasks included in the measure for clinician to assess and score
pros of clinician administered / performance based testing
removes bias from patient’s old perception of impairment
can clearly see and measure the impairment
cons of clinician administered / performance based testing outcome measures
interrater variability
– things are different between specific clinicians testing
what are patient administered / patient-reported outcome measures
outcome measures that rate the impact of injury on broad range functions and ability to participate in life roles
typically have an associated frame of reference
which outcome measures (clinician or patient administered) has more latent constructs
patient administered
steps to using outcome measures in practice
need to know and follow the precise instructions for
adminstering, scoring, dealing with missing items, interpreting score on measure
what are the key measurement properties
reliability
validity
responsiveness
what is reliability
ability of a measure to provide consistent results across different time points when underlying clinical status does not change
what types of relaibilty are there
relative and absolute
what is relative reliability also called?
systematic error
what are the categories of relative error
intrarater
interrater
test-retest
what is intrarater error
same rater doing an assessment at different time points
what is interrater error
different raters doing assessments at different time points
