Test 3 Flashcards
ADA regulation for wheelchair access
To accommodate a single, stationary wheel chair is 30” by 48”
Single wheelchair passage = 32” at entry and 36” throughout
Min width for 2 wheelchairs to pass is 60”
ADA regulation for steps and stairs
Minimum 11” deep
Maximum 7” high
ADA regulation for ramps
Max slope of 1:12
Max rise of 30”
Ramp runs with a rise greater than 6” must have a handrail
Outcome Measures
A measure of the extent that an intervention has achieved its goals or objectives and met the needs of the pt.
Reliability
Consistency of measure
Validity
Does this measure what we want to measure
Ceiling effect
pt scores in a given population cluster in the upper limits of a test
ex. giving an athlete a 6 min walk test. They’re going to crush it
Floor effect
pt scores in a given population cluster in the lower limits of a test
ex. old person who can barely walk doing a 40m sprint test
Minimal detectable change (MDC)
the smallest amount of change in a score that can be detected and is not due to measurement error
Minimally clinically important difference (MCID)
the smallest change in a treatment outcome that a pt would consider to be meaningful
Test-retest
the same test over time
a type of reliability
Interrater
the same test conducted by different people
a type of reliability
Parallel forms
Different versions of a test which are designed to be equivalent
a type of reliability
Internal consistency
the individual items of a test
a type of reliability
Content validity
whether the instrument adequately covers all the content that it should with respect to the variable.
Does the instrument cover the entire domain it is designed to measure
