Validity and floor/ceiling effects of upper limb outcome measures in people with Multiple Sclerosis: an European RIMS multi-center study

Abstract

This study is part of a multi-center study that took place within the European Rehabilitation In Multiple Sclerosis (RIMS) Network- Special Interest Group (SIG) on Occupation (www.eurims.org). The primary aim of this RIMS multi-center study was to investigate the psychometric properties (reliability, validity, responsiveness and floor/ ceiling effect) of upper limb outcome measures in persons with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS). This master thesis will only report on the validity and possible floor/ ceiling effects.
