1 Summary The objective of this chapter is to give an overview of basic principles guiding the development and application of outcome measures. This chapter starts by introducing basic concepts related to the development of outcome measures, and demonstrates their applications in stroke rehabilitation. Specifically, the first section includes a theoretical discussion of reliability, validity and responsiveness, and how to approach interpretation. This discussion is based on classical test theory.
It might also be negatively correlated with the absence of a significant other who was willing to plan and execute activities with the stroke survivor (convergent construct validity). One could also hypothesize that the extent of functional recovery following the stroke would be more highly correlated with “participation” than would the presence of shoulder pain (divergent construct validity). These hypotheses would be tested on appropriate samples of stroke survivors by evaluating both “participation” and the other constructs at the same point in time.
Future trends related to computer-adapted testing (CAT) are also briefly described. In the second section, the evaluation of “walking competency” after stroke is used to illustrate the selection of appropriate outcome measures for this population, as well as their relation to “participation”. These measures include self-reported scales, performance-based ratings and laboratory assessments. This chapter concludes with examples of how laboratory-based gait assessments and measures of brain reorganization help explain changes in clinical scales and performance-based measures.
