Responsiveness and Minimal Clinically Important Difference of the Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test in Patients with Stroke
This study aimed to analyze the responsiveness of the 5STS test among stroke patients and to estimate the MCIDs (minimal clinically important differences) for different severity levels of community ambulation and stages of recovery. The 5STS and comparator instruments (gait speed and Functional Ambulatory Category (FAC)) were evaluated at baseline. These measures were repeated at 4 (Stage 1) and 8 weeks (Stage 2), together with the Global Rating of Change (GROC). The MCIDs were calculated with two anchor-based methods using the GROC as the external criterion. Responsiveness to change for the 5STS was estimated analyzing the correlation with changes in the two comparator instruments and thei…

Estructura y propiedades métricas de un cuestionario para medir discapacidad en las actividades de movilidad en pacientes con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (cuestionario DIAMO-EPOC)
Resumen Objetivo El objetivo del estudio fue adaptar un cuestionario de discapacidad en actividades de movilidad (DIAMO-EPOC) incorporando escalas basadas en el marco conceptual de la Clasificacion Internacional del Funcionamiento, Discapacidad y Salud, y examinar su estructura, fiabilidad y validez en una cohorte de pacientes con EPOC. Metodos Un total de 137 pacientes con EPOC estable fueron reclutados. Se disenaron dos escalas de cuatro items cada una y se verifico su estructura mediante analisis factorial y de multirrasgo. Adicionalmente, se calcularon los indices de fiabilidad (consistencia interna y test-retest). La validez de constructo se analizo mediante grupos conocidos y la conve…
