A generic outcome assessment of mobility capacity in neurorehabilitation: measurement properties of the de Morton Mobility Index.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mobility capacity is a key outcome domain in neurorehabilitation. The de Morton Mobility Index (DEMMI), an established and generic outcome assessment of mobility capacity in older patients, is promising for use in neurorehabilitation. The aim of this study was to examine the measurement properties of the DEMMI in rehabilitation inpatients with neurological conditions.

Methods

Cross-sectional study including a mixed sample of adult inpatients in a neurorehabilitation hospital. Structural validity, unidimensionality and measurement invariance (Rasch analysis), construct validity, internal consistency reliability, and inter-rater reliability of the DEMMI (scale range: 0-100 points) were established. The minimal detectable change, the 95% limits of agreement, and poss
