Abstract

Principles of assessment and outcome measurement for occupational therapists and physiotherapists aims to provide a coprehensive text on assessment, evaluation and outcome measurement for occupational therapy and physiotherapy students, therapists, managers and educators. The purpose of this book is to enable students, as well as qualified physiotherapists and occupational therapists, to understand the complex art and science of assessment processes, to be familiar with psychometric terms and able to identify the properties of tests in order to select and confidently implement the use of appropiriate standardised tests and outcome measures in their clinical practice research. The book explores the core principles that underpin effective and efficient therapy assessment processes across a wide range of diagnoses, age groups and practice settings. Examples of standardised tests along with case vignettes and case histories are used to help the reader apply these principles to their practice.

Who is this book for? For students, the book will: introduce you to the process and purpose of assessment and outcome measurement for practice, research, service evaluation; help you to understand levels of measurement, standardisation and psychometric properties and help you to apply this knowledge to appraise and select the best assessments and outcome measures. For educators, the book will assist in exploring with students the purpose and importance of assessment and outcome measurement, standardisation and psychometrics, key aspects of test development and the reasoning required to select and apply assessments and measures in practice. For practitioners, the book will familiarise you with assessment and outcome measure terminology and enable you to identify the properties of tests in order to select and confidently implement appropriate standardised tests and outcome measures in your practice, service evaluation, service development and research. For researchers, the book will assist you in: developing a new assessment or outcome measure; creating a culturally sensitive version of an existing measure; undertaking a linguistically valid translation of a measure published in another language; collecting normative data; conducting psychometric studies to examine aspects of validity and reliability; and / or exploring the face validity or clinical utility of a measure. For managers, the book will assist in identifying the importance of assessment and outcome measures for service evaluation and improvement and to select and measure outcomes as required by commissioners and senior managers"--
