This scale has been developed to evaluate the social, psychological and physical components of health-status. Its main intend is to be used among rheumatoid conditions. It is a self administered outcome measure.[1]
There are different versions of this outcome measure including original version, shortened version, expanded version, short form version, elderly version and child version. [2] It has also been translated into a number of languages including French, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Turkish, Italian and French.
Contend[edit | edit source]
This outcome consists if nine sub-scales including physical activity(bending, lifting, walking),household activities(Medication and expense management also housekeeping), mobility, social activities, activities of daily impact, depression, pain and anxiety. Additionally the arthritis impact scale has components from arm function, work and social support.[3]
Population[edit | edit source]
The intended population is those with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis in assessing health care outcomes.
This outcome measure can also be used in ankylosing spondylitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, colles fracture, joint replacement surgeries, haemophilia and psoriatic arthritis.[4][5]
Administration[edit | edit source]
This is a slf administered outcome measure, with no training required prior to administration. It takes 15 minutes to complete with the shortened versions taking just 6 to 8 minutes.No equipment is needed for the same. It is freely accessible.
Scoring[edit | edit source]
Every section has a Guttman scale consisting of questions that are graded on the basis of its level of disability on a 5 point scale with a higher score indicating higher disability. The score is graded from 0 to 10 using a standardisation method.
Psychometric properties[edit | edit source]
Reliability has been established using the Cronbachs alpha for the 9 sections including test retest reliability. Test retest intraclass correlations are over 0.70. The validity has been established for health related components including pain, psychological component and social scales. Responsiveness to change has been established over 3 months as small to high.[6]
