Reliability and validity of the Canadian-French ecological adaptation of the weighted version of the Melbourne low-vision ADL Index.

CONCLUSIONS: The MIDVAQ is highly valid and reliable. It can be useful to measure the functional impact of the visual impairment, its progression, and the outcomes of low vision rehabilitation services. Implications for rehabilitation Even if administered at home in an ecological way, this measure of the impact of the visual impairment in daily activities is very reliable. Given its good metric properties, this tool can be confidently used to assess the functional impact of visual impairment, outcomes of the low vision rehabilitation services, etc. This measurement tool provides complementary information to those obtained from clinical measures of visual functions, by reflecting the interaction between the functional abilities with the requirements of the environment.
