Rasch analysis of the UK Functional Assessment Measure in patients with complex disability after stroke.

CONCLUSION: The UK FIM+FAM with domain super-items satisfies expectations of the unidimensional Rasch model without the need for re-scoring. A conversion table was produced to convert the total scale scores into interval-level data based on person estimates of the Rasch model. The clinical benefits of interval-transformed scores require further evaluation. PMID: 29487943 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
