The AMSQ shows satisfying results for validity and excellent reliability; allowing for proper use in research. Due to a large SDC value, caution is needed when using the AMSQ in individual patient care. Further research should determine whether the SDC is smaller than the minimal important change. Implications for Rehabilitation The Arm Function in Multiple Sclerosis Questionnaire (AMSQ) measures activity limitations due to hand and arm functioning in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Results of this study confirm adequate validity and reliability of the AMSQ in patient with MS. The equivalence of scores from online, paper or interview administration is supported. A change score of ≥18 points on the scale of the AMSQ (on a scale 0-100) needs to occur to be certain a change beyond measurement error has occurred in an individual patient.

“…[18][19][20][21] Pinch and grip strength was less than in control subjects and manual ability was more associated with pinch than power grip. 22 In addition, recent studies on grip force control demonstrated that individuals with MS applied larger grip forces than healthy counterparts while performing static and dynamic manipulative tasks. 15,23 These studies, however, did not use common functional tasks, limiting the applicability of the findings to neurorehabilitation assessment and intervention.…”

“…Interrater comparison analysis is needed because interrater differences in scores can produce more than acceptable measurement errors (Edwards, Feightner, & Goldsmith, 1995). Most studies on interrater reliability in rehabilitation rely on professional therapists for data collection (Chen, 2007) or do not specify who read the gauges that the participants squeezed (Agnew & Maas, 1991;Shechtman, 2004;Sisto, 2007). Edwards et al (1995) determined that with careful attention to training and the use of standardized administration guidelines, research assistants with no previous background in health care can administer assessments with excellent reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] = 0.97-1.00).…”
