A method of typological analysis was applied to computer-generated l 96-item "questionnaire" data for 100 cases, under a variety of conditions as to: a. response pattern differentiation in the data; b. similarity index used; c. criteria for the formation of clusters-types. 'Under each combination of conditions, analyses were carried out at both item-level and score-level (i.e., records reduced to 12 eight-item "scores"). The results showed a considerable advantage of score-level approach in the number, size, and replicability of clusters recovered.

The MOSAIC Study: A Mixed-Methods Study of the Clinical, Emotional, and Financial Burden of Geographic Atrophy Among Patients and Caregivers in the US.

Purpose: Geographic atrophy (GA) impacts both patients and caregivers, yet little is understood about their respective burdens. The MOSAIC study aimed to identify the clinical, emotional, and financial burden among patients with GA and caregivers.
Methods: A total of 28 patients with GA and 17 caregivers from the United States (US), the United Kingdom, and Australia participated in individualized qualitative interviews followed by a cross-sectional quantitative survey of 102 patients and 102 caregivers in the US.

Introduction: The Fugl-Meyer Motor Assessment (FMMA) is recommended for evaluating stroke motor recovery in clinical practice and research. However, its widespread use requires refined reliability data, particularly across different health professions. We therefore investigated the interrater reliability of the FMMA scored by a physical therapist and a physician using video recordings of stroke patients.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study - Activities of Daily Living Scale for use in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), the ADCS-ADL-MCI, is an evaluation scale with information provided by an informant/caregiver to describe the functional impairment of patients with MCI. As the ADCS-ADL-MCI has yet to undergo a full psychometric evaluation, this study aimed to evaluate the measurement properties of the ADCS-ADL-MCI in subjects with amnestic MCI.
Methods: Measurement properties, including item-level analysis, internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, construct validity (convergent/discriminant, known-groups validity), and responsiveness were evaluated using data from the ADCS ADC-008 trial, a 36-month, multicenter, placebo-controlled study in 769 subjects with amnestic MCI (defined by clinical criteria and a global clinical dementia rating, CDR, score of 0.

Purpose: To assess the intra- and inter-rater reliability motor and sensory functioning, balance, joint range of motion and joint pain subscales of the Italian Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) and Lower Extremity (FMA-LE) at the item- subtotal- and total-level in patients with sub-acute stroke.
Materials And Methods: The FMA was administered to 60 patients with sub-acute stroke (mean age ± SD = 75.4 ± 10.

Background: The Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Lower Extremity (FMA-LE) is a widely used and recommended scale for evaluation of post-stroke motor impairment. However, the reliability of the scale has only been established by using parametric statistical methods, which ignores the ordinal properties of the scale.
Objective: To determined intra- and inter-rater reliability of the FMA-LE at item and summed score level early after stroke.
