Reliability of functional outcome measures in adults with neurofibromatosis 2.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To determine inter- and intra-rater reliability of functional performance outcome measures in people with neurofibromatosis 2. To ascertain how closely objective and subjective measures align.

Methods

Twenty-nine people with neurofibromatosis 2 were recorded performing the modified clinical test of sensory integration and balance, four square step test and modified nine-hole peg tests. Three raters scored each measure to determine inter-rater reliability. One rater scored the measures a second time to determine intra-rater reliability. Participants also completed a disease-specific quality of life questionnaire and dynamic visual acuity testing.

Results

Inter-rater and intra-rater reliability scores (intra-class correlation coefficient) were excellent for al
