“…Consequently, the task of creating reliable procedures was particularly challenging. The authors found corresponding methods used in a small number of previous studies [see 2,18,36,41]. However, according to Macmillan (42), the MFR model is comparable to and in fact more accurate than the classical methods needed to study inter-rater reliability.…”

Play Assessment for Group Settings (PAGS) was originally designed to measure the play ability of 2- to 8-year-old children in their natural day-care context and for the use of different professionals. The main purpose of this study was to examine the inter-rater reliability of the PAGS. Twelve raters from different professional backgrounds scored a total of 78 children, both videotaped co-scored cases and individual live cases. The many-faceted Rasch model (MFR) was used to examine the goodness-of-fit of the rater severity estimates. Of the 12 raters, 91.7% were demonstrated to fit the MFR model expectations. Overall the results of this study indicated that the raters scored the PAGS in a reliable way, and that they behaved like independent experts. The separation index (2.09) of the raters indicated that the inter-rater scorings were comparable with each other for practical purposes. Further research on the different response processes of children in different diagnostic groups is needed.

“…We also adopted a second method from a previous study (36) to evaluate inter-rater reliability. We counted the overall proportion of unexpected scorings of raters both in the total sample and separately in the videotaped case scorings.…”

“…The brevity of the questionnaire should appeal to seniors themselves, members of minority groups who do not like individual scalable de nitions and members of groups of seniors with a lower level of educational attainment, 14,18,39 while the inclusion of IADL skills in a long-form questionnaire would add to the detailed information and leave room for qualitative feedback from respondents. However, even in the presence of such limitations, the variability detected in our analysis has exciting potential in pursuing a universal scale to assess functionability among the aged.…”

“…Contemporaries who agree with Kane and Kane 16 have veri ed the need to rank ADLs as a baseline set of skills followed by the more dif cult IADL skills including research in ve countries assessing function in seven populations. 14,[17][18][19][20] While many agree that the IADL skills are to be included in the functional assessment of the aged, there is much descension about which skills should be included. Since the inception of the basic or general IADLs (travel, shopping, meal preparation, housework, transport, and nances), many individual items developed to facilitate speci c clinical and population studies have been added to the 'pool' of functional skills.…”

Although causal theories of aging differ considerably across disciplines, the common denominator in published papers on the health and function of the aged is to be found in the methods section. The instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), used to determine the independence of the aged living in the community, are utilized both at a clinical and population level. While there has been a cross-disciplinary need for a scale to measure sub-populations, many scholars have been reticent to use the existing IADL items across geographical backgrounds. The results of this study, which surveys 236 physicians from 11 different cultures on the importance of individual IADL items, suggests the IADL may be useful as a universal measure of function.

“…The AMPS has been shown to be a valid assessment that demonstrates differences in motor and process ability between samples of people with and without disabilities (Bernspång & Fisher, 1995;Cooke, Fisher, Mayberry, & Oakley, 2000;Doble, Fisk, Fisher, Ritvo, & Murray, 1994) as well as a sensitive tool for community-living well older adults (Dickerson & Fisher, 1993, 1997. It has also been shown to be valid across cultures, gender, and diagnoses (Dickerson & Fisher, 1995;Duran & Fisher, 1996;Goto, Fisher, & Mayberry, 1996;Hartman, Fisher, & Duran, 1999). The validity, reliability, and stability of the measurement model of the AMPS are discussed elsewhere (Bernspång, 1999;Fisher, 2003).…”

The purpose of this translational research article is to illustrate how general practice occupational therapists have the skills and knowledge to address driving as a valued occupation using an algorithm based on the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process (2nd ed.; American Occupational Therapy Association, 2008b). Evidence to support the model is offered by a research study. Participants were compared on their performance of complex instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) and a behind-thewheel driving assessment. A significant relationship was found between the process skills from the performance assessment and whether the driver passed, failed, or needed restrictions as indicated by the behind-the-wheel assessment. The evidence suggests that occupational therapists using observational performance evaluation of IADLs can assist in determining who might be an at-risk driver. The algorithm addresses how driver rehabilitation specialists can be used most effectively and efficiently with general practice occupational therapy practitioners meeting the needs of senior drivers.

The Assessment of Motor and Process Skills Applied Cross-Culturally to the Japanese

Abstract: The results support the hypothesis that the AMPS can be used as a cross cultural instrumental activities of daily living assessment. Further study is needed to clarify the issue of possible cultural bias in rater severity.
