The evaluation framework presented here defines a three-tier hierarchy of the functional goals of rehabilitation, using the tenodesis splint as an example of an orthosis designed to improve limb function. These goals are combined with five categories of evaluative criteria to create a matrix. Based upon the key validity assumptions underlying the goals, conjoint criteria are suggested. Directions of development and inquiry are indicated. The matrix illustrates the separation as well as the integration of goal levels and evaluative categories; it sets the stage for the proper context and relative importance of specific splinting. This framework will increase the validity of criteria for orthotics evaluation in the design of future clinical studies.
本文提出的评估框架定义了康复功能目标的三层层次结构，以动力性夹板为例，说明一种旨在改善肢体功能的矫形器。这些目标与五类评估标准相结合，形成一个矩阵。基于目标背后的关键有效性假设，提出了联合标准。指明了发展和探究的方向。该矩阵说明了目标层次和评估类别之间的分离与整合；它为特定夹板的适当背景和相对重要性奠定了基础。该框架将提高未来临床研究设计中矫形器评估标准的有效性。
