Simplified Post-stroke Functioning Assessment Based on ICF via Dichotomous Mokken Scale Analysis and Rasch Modeling.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aims to accomplish two tasks for International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) application among persons with stroke: (1) to make an ICF tool for measuring personal abilities with simplified assessment operations; (2) to quantitatively evaluate ICF categories for being functioning rather than being disabled.

Methods

A total of 130 inpatients with stroke via convenience sampling were evaluated by the extended comprehensive ICF core set for stroke, modified Rankin scale, and modified Barthel index (MBI). This study investigated the responses to 118 stroke-related ICF items (59 items in b and d domains individually) using Mokken scale analysis followed with Rasch modeling.

Results

A Mokken scale with 47 items wa
