This study's purpose was to investigate the reliability, validity, and responsiveness of the Patient-Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) for measuring mobility-related goals in people with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Data from 32 participants with MS who underwent 8 to 10 weeks of rehabilitation were analyzed (Expanded Disability Status Scale scores 1.0-7.0). For the PSFS, participants identified 3 mobility-related areas where they had difficulty and rated them at baseline, 10 to 14 days later (before starting intervention), and immediately after intervention. Test-retest reliability and response stability of the PSFS were calculated using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC 2,1 ) and minimal detectable change (MDC 95 ), respectively. Concurrent validity of the PSFS was determined with the 12-item Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale (MSWS-12) and the Timed 25-Foot Walk Test (T25FW). PSFS responsiveness was determined using Cohen's d , and minimal clinically important difference (MCID) was calculated based on patient-reported improvements on a Global Rating of Change (GRoC) scale.
The PSFS total score demonstrated moderate reliability (ICC 2,1 = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.46 to 0.84) and the MDC was 2.1 points. At baseline, the PSFS was fairly and significantly correlated with the MSWS-12 ( r = -0.46, P = 0.008) but not with the T25FW. Changes in the PSFS were moderately and significantly correlated with the GRoC scale (ρ = 0.63, P < 0.001), but not with MSWS-12 or T25FW changes. The PSFS was responsive ( d = 1.7), and the MCID was 2.5 points or more to identify patient-perceived improvements based on the GRoC scale (sensitivity = 0.85, specificity = 0.76).
This study supports the use of the PSFS as an outcome measure in people with MS to assess mobility-related goals.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see the Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A423 ).
本研究旨在探讨患者特定功能量表(PSFS)用于评估多发性硬化症(MS)患者与移动相关目标的可靠性、有效性和反应性。
对 32 名接受 8 至 10 周康复治疗的 MS 患者的数据进行了分析(扩展残疾状态量表评分 1.0-7.0)。对于 PSFS,参与者确定了 3 个与移动相关的困难领域,并在基线时、10 至 14 天后(开始干预前)以及干预后立即进行了评估。使用组内相关系数(ICC 2,1 )和最小可检测变化(MDC 95 )分别计算 PSFS 的重测信度和反应稳定性。使用 12 项多发性硬化步行量表(MSWS-12)和定时 25 英尺步行测试(T25FW)确定 PSFS 的同时效度。使用 Cohen 的 d 确定 PSFS 的反应性,并根据患者对总体变化评级(GRoC)量表的改善情况计算最小临床重要差异(MCID)。
PSFS 总分显示出中等的可靠性(ICC 2,1 = 0.70,95%置信区间:0.46 至 0.84),MDC 为 2.1 分。在基线时,PSFS 与 MSWS-12 呈中度显著相关(r = -0.46,P = 0.008),但与 T25FW 无关。PSFS 的变化与 GRoC 量表呈中度显著相关(ρ=0.63,P<0.001),但与 MSWS-12 或 T25FW 的变化无关。PSFS 具有反应性(d=1.7),根据 GRoC 量表,MCID 为 2.5 分或更高,以识别患者感知到的改善(敏感性=0.85,特异性=0.76)。
本研究支持在 MS 患者中使用 PSFS 作为评估与移动相关目标的结果测量。
