tool.

Define psychometric properties used in research to identify appropriate tools for the neurologic population

Confidently administer outcome measures that assess multiple components of the ICF and in 

patients with various neurologic injuries.

What questions might you have?

Is the tool valid?

Does the tool measure what I want 

it to measure?

What questions might you have?

What if the same therapist will not be completing both the initial and discharge 

evaluations?

Minimum Detectable Change:

Large enough that the change is not due to error/variance

Is the tool reliable?

Change in score signifies a meaningful improvement in

Has it been used before in the way I want to use it and will it tell me what I want to know?

Summary• Define the what, when, where, who, & why

– To help determine the “how” (measure to use)

• Use available resources to examine outcome psychometric properties

• Build your “tool portfolio” one patient (type) at a time

• Collaborate!

– Live, learn, share
