Comprehensive ADL outcome measurement after stroke: Rasch validation of the Lucerne ICF based Multidisciplinary Observation Scale (LIMOS)

To establish Rasch validation of the Lucerne International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF)-based Multidisciplinary Observation Scale (LIMOS) in stroke. LIMOS measures the level of assistance in daily life activities related to motor function, communication, cognition and domestic life. Rasch Measurement Theory (RMT) transforms an ordinal scale into an interval scale and thus the Rasch-based LIMOS scale captures a more accurate improvement of functional outcomes via Rasch-transformed scores.
