Objective: To explore the relationship of the Multiple Sclerosis Neuropsychology Questionnaire (MSNQ; [Benedict, R. H. B.

The structure of functional and community outcomes following traumatic brain injury.

Objectives: To investigate the dimensionality of functional and community outcomes following serious TBI. To identify items that fit, misfit or are redundant, as well as to assess person misfit.

Methods: Rating-scale (Rasch) analysis was applied to 1-year follow-up data from 231 cases in the US National TBI Model Systems database.

The relation between subjective and objective measures of everyday life activities in persons with multiple sclerosis.

Objectives: To investigate the relation between subjective and objective performance-based measures of functional status in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS), and to compare their performance with healthy controls.

Design: A between-groups design, using a correlational approach to examine the relation between objective and subjective measures of functional capacity.

Setting: Outpatient rehabilitation research institution.

Scaling of the revised Oswestry low back pain questionnaire.

Objective: To evaluate the measurement properties of the Revised Oswestry Disability Questionnaire (RODQ) by using rating scale analyses.

Design: Calibration of item responses by using a data set.

Setting: Four outpatient therapy clinics in the northeastern United States.
