The aims of this study were to adapt an adult wheeled mobility outcome measure, the Functional Mobility Assessment, for use with children (FMA-Family Centred) and establish the new measure's content validity, test-retest reliability, and internal consistency.
Although several tools exist to measure a child's ability to operate and move a wheeled mobility device, none focus on the ability of the wheeled mobility device to support children and their families as they perform daily activities.
After adapting the FMA items with examples relevant to children aged 3-21, parent/caregiver and therapist stakeholder groups recommended adaptations relevant for families with children who cannot respond for themselves.
Six of the initial FMA items were retained with child-appropriate examples, and 4 new items were developed.
The content validity of the FMA-Family Centred was strongly supported, and internal consistency and test-retest reliability met accepted psychometric standards.
本研究的目的是使成人轮式移动性结果测量工具“功能移动性评估”适用于儿童(以家庭为中心的功能移动性评估,FMA-Family Centred),并确定该新测量工具的内容效度、重测信度和内部一致性。
尽管有几种工具可用于测量儿童操作和移动轮式移动设备的能力,但没有一种工具关注轮式移动设备在儿童及其家庭进行日常活动时对他们的支持能力。
在用与3至21岁儿童相关的示例对FMA项目进行调整后,家长/照顾者和治疗师利益相关者群体推荐了与无法自行做出反应的儿童家庭相关的调整。
最初的FMA项目中有六项保留了适合儿童的示例,并开发了四项新项目。
以家庭为中心的功能移动性评估的内容效度得到了有力支持,内部一致性和重测信度符合公认的心理测量标准。
