Lastly, objective and self-report measures of function, as well as self-reported measurement of pain will provide clinically relevant estimates of change in knee OA symptoms with our novel hip strengthening intervention.
This measurement has substantial validity; it is highly correlated with measures of function and other outcome measures[ 13].
Concurrent measures of function included the Lysholm Knee Scale and several global measures of function.
A computerized adaptive test for patients with hip impairments produced valid and responsive measures of function.
Each splint was worn for 3 weeks, and hand function was assessed by means of standardized measures of function and disability.
To identify clinician and laboratory-oriented measures of function capable of explaining health-related quality of life in individuals with chronic ankle instability.
There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups using the traditional measures of function following total knee replacement, including overall satisfaction with surgery.
Validity was demonstrated by moderately strong correlations with concurrent measures of function, including the Lysholm Knee Scale and the global assessment of function as measured on a scale ranging from 0 to 100 points.
Borsa et al. [38] tried to determine whether performance-based or patient-reported measures of function are more effective at estimating disability in individuals with an ACL-deficient knee.
Most importantly, finalization of the IMPA scale will depend on a future study for psychometric evaluation of the measure, involving comparison of the IMPA scale with other accepted measures of function (e.g., cognitive, behavioral, ADLs).
While these are obviously important measures of function and outcome, there are many variables that contribute to the ability to deploy after amputation and it is unlikely that amputation technique is solely accountable.
