Standardized Outcome Measures Flashcards
What is intrarater reliability?
Consistency of repeated measurements by the same person overtime
What is interrater reliability?
Consistency of repeated measurements by more than one person
What is minimal clinically important difference (MCID)?
Smallest difference in patients condition that the patient or clinician considers worthwhile that would warrant a change in patients management.
What is minimal detectable difference (MDD)?
- Minimum detectable change in a patient’s condition beyond the threshold of measurement error
- Smallest difference of change that would be statically significant
Why were CPG’s established?
Effort to streamline and standardize assessment tools for individuals with neurologic conditions
What is the cutoff score for Berg Balance Scale?
Under 45 indicate fall risk
What is the purpose of the Berg Balance Scale?
Assess static/dynamic sitting and standing balance and fall risk in adults
What is the purpose of the functional gait assessment?
Assess changes in dynamic walking balance while walking
What it the cutoff score for older adults of the functional gait assessment?
less than or =22/30 indicates fall risk
What is the alder adult cutoff score of the Activity specific balance confidence scale?
<67%

What is a gain of 0.1 m/s on the 10 meter walk test a predictor of ?
- Well being in those without normal WS
- A change of 0.1 m/sec should be patient goal
What is the purpose of the 6 minute walk test?
