“…Testing the internal consistency of the Brazilian Portuguese version, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the DEMMI found was 0.90. These findings are similar to those in the German version [14], suggesting that the Brazilian Portuguese version can provide a reliable assessment of mobility function in older patients. Moreover, all alpha values were less than 0.90, indicating that no redundant exists in the DEMMI [21].…”

“…The test-retest reliability of the Brazilian Portuguese version found that ICC ranged from 0.84 to 0.92, what was similar to observed in the German [14] and Dutch [15]. Only the original English [8] version tested the reliability by the Pearson's correlation (r) between the scores obtained in the test and retest, and was considered strong (r = 0.94).…”

“…Moreover, all alpha values were less than 0.90, indicating that no redundant exists in the DEMMI [21]. The values reported by all authors classify agreement as very good in all versions [8,14,15,16]. Accordingly, these findings suggest that the Brazilian Portuguese version of the DEMMI also appears to be a useful measure assessing patients' mobility function…”

“…In our study, we used for comparison an objective measurement of the level of physical activity during 24 hours, using accelerometry. The other studies used for comparison the Barthel [8] index, Timed Up and Go test [14,15] and Cumulated Ambulation Score [16]. Among all those analyzed, only the Cumulated Ambulation Score presents domains closer to the construct of the DEMMI, which explains the greater…”

To translate and adapt cross-culturally the De Morton Mobility Index from English to Brazilian Portuguese. Furthermore, to test the content validity, reliability, construct validity, interpretability and responsiveness for older hospitalized patients. Methods After we carried out the translation and the cross-cultural adaptation of the De Morton Mobility Index and its administration instructions according to international guidelines, the content validity of De Morton Mobility Index was tested by experienced physiotherapists. In the sequence, the reliability, construct validity, interpretability and responsiveness were tested in a test-retest design with 93 older patients hospitalized in ward for clinical reasons. The reliability was tested by Cronbach's alpha coefficient (internal consistency), standard error measurement (agreement), and interclass correlation coefficients (intra and inter-examiner reliability). The construct validity was tested by Pearson's correlation between the De Morton Mobility Index score and the number of steps. Interpretability was analyzed by determining the minimum detectable change and the floor and ceiling effects (frequency of maximum and minimum scoring). Responsiveness was analyzed by effect size. Results The Brazilian version of the De Morton Mobility Index was made and adapted. The internal consistency (α = 0.89), reliability intra-(ICC = 0.94) and inter-examiners (ICC = 0.82), agreement were all adequate. The De Morton Mobility Index is validity when correlated with number of steps (r = 0.46). Floor or ceiling effects (<15%) were not observed and the responsiveness was high (ES = 3.65).
