To calibrate and validate the Benin version of ABILOCO, a Rasch-built scale developed to assess locomotion ability in stroke patients.
Prospective study and questionnaire development.
Rehabilitation centers.
Stroke patients (N=230; mean age ± SD, 51.1±11.6 y; 64.3% men).
Not applicable.
Participants completed a preliminary list of 36 items including the 13 items of ABILOCO. Items were scored as "impossible," "difficult," or "easy." The mobility subdomain of FIM (FIM-mobility), the Functional Ambulation Classification (FAC), the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), and the 10-meter walk test (10MWT) were used to evaluate and elucidate the validity of the ABILOCO-Benin scale.
Successive Rasch analyses led to the selection of 15 items that define a unidimensional, invariant, and linear measure of locomotion ability in stroke patients. This modified version of the ABILOCO scale, named ABILOCO-Benin, showed an excellent internal consistency, with a Person Separation Index of .93, and excellent test-retest reliability with high intraclass correlation coefficients of .95 (P<.001) for item difficulty and .93 (P<.001) for subject measures. It also presented good construct validity compared with FAC, FIM-mobility, 6MWT, and 10MWT (r≥.75, P<.001).
ABILOCO-Benin presents good psychometric properties. It allows valid, reliable, and objective measurements of locomotion ability in stroke patients.
对贝宁版 ABILOCO 进行校准和验证，ABILOCO 是一种基于 Rasch 构建的量表，用于评估脑卒中患者的移动能力。
前瞻性研究和问卷制定。
康复中心。
脑卒中患者（N=230；平均年龄±标准差，51.1±11.6 岁；64.3%为男性）。
无。
参与者完成了一份包含 ABILOCO 的 13 项内容的 36 项初步清单。项目的评分标准为“不可能”“困难”或“容易”。FIM 运动功能分项（FIM-mobility）、功能性步行分类（FAC）、6 分钟步行试验（6MWT）和 10 米步行试验（10MWT）用于评估和阐明 ABILOCO-贝宁量表的有效性。
连续的 Rasch 分析选出了 15 项内容，这些内容定义了脑卒中患者移动能力的一维、不变和线性测量。该 ABILOCO 量表的修改版本，命名为 ABILOCO-贝宁，具有良好的内部一致性，个体分离指数为.93，难度项目和受试者测量的重测信度均较高，组内相关系数分别为.95（P<.001）和.93（P<.001）。与 FAC、FIM-mobility、6MWT 和 10MWT 相比，它还具有良好的结构有效性（r≥.75，P<.001）。
ABILOCO-贝宁具有良好的心理测量特性。它可以对脑卒中患者的移动能力进行有效、可靠和客观的测量。
