Measurement properties of performance-based instruments for assessing mental function during activity and participation in persons with stroke: A systematic review.

Background: Various performance-based instruments exist to assess mental function after stroke and users have to select one for research or clinical practice.

Objectives: To evaluate the measurement properties of performance-based instruments to assess (any aspect of) mental function during activity and participation in persons after stroke.

Material And Methods: We searched in five electronic databases.

Measurement properties of performance-based instruments to assess mental function during activity and participation in persons who have survived a stroke: A systematic review protocol.

Background: A frequent consequence of stroke is impaired mental function, which often affects the ability to perform activities and participate in life situation. In occupational therapy practice, performance-based instruments during activity and participation are often used. However, it is important to assess if the instruments used are valid, reliable and responsive.

Measurement properties of performance-based instruments to assess mental function during activity and participation in traumatic brain injury: A systematic review.

Performance-based measures that focus primarily on the ability to engage in ADL are routinely used by occupational therapists to assess a client's cognitive abilities. To perform a systematic review to investigate measurement properties of performance-based instruments to assess mental function during activity and participation in individuals with traumatic brain injury. Pubmed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO and OTseeker were searched.

Measurement properties of instruments to assess mental function during activity and participation in individuals surviving traumatic brain injury: A systematic review protocol.

Most studies assessing mental function in individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) assess the impairments through pen and paper tests. However, weak correlation has been found between the results from pen and paper tests and the results from performance-based tests during activity and participation. To investigate measurement properties of performance-based instruments that are used to assess mental function during activity and participation in individuals with a TBI.

Functional capacity and health-related quality of life in individuals post stroke.

Background: In individuals post stroke, cardiovascular and functional capacity is frequently reduced independent of severity. The psychological consequences of this reduction have only been briefly investigated. This study investigated the relationship between functional capacity and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in individuals post stroke.
