54 APPENDICES Physiotherapy KCE reports vol. 40 impairment AND aged (5 hits). Although in some of these articles the use of functional tests was described, none of the articles yielded direct information on the psychometric properties of these tests. For the search term low back pain 682 results were found. This term was combined with Activities of Daily Living (11 hits), Disability Evaluation (33 hits), Outcome Assessment (103 hits) and Quality of Life (55 hits). Again, no articles specifically dealing with psychometric properties of functional tests were retrieved. NUMBER OF REFERENCES RETRIEVED IN MEDLINE All literature search criteria were submitted to PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=PubMed) in order to retrieve the references covering the four domains of the literature review. The number of references retrieved from for PubMed is presented in Table 1. The results indicate that a total of 2045 references were retrieved. Among those, 564 (28%) references are related to functional evaluation, 1076 (53%) are related to evaluation methodology, 17 (
KCE reports vol. 40 APPENDICES Physiotherapy 55 B. CHECKLIST FOR LITTERATURE REVIEW ON FUNCTIONAL EVALUATION A systematic checklist was adopted to review each study on functional assessment. The checklist was specifically designed to assess papers presenting psychometric qualities of functional tests in the field of physiotherapy, i.e. the majority of the selected studies. The other studies addressed clinical, methodological or organisational issues, and were not evaluated according to the checklist. The checklist is described hereunder. GENERAL INFORMATION - Reference of the study. - Reader. - Study type: test (study presenting psychometric qualities of functional tests), commentary (study addressing clinical issues in the field of physiotherapy), satisfaction (study addressing patient satisfaction with physiotherapy) or economic (study addressing physiotherapy financing issues). - Full name of the test. - Abbreviated name of the test. - Diagnosis of the patients studied. - Sub-diagnosis (when applicable). - The sample size of the study. - The domain of the ICF addressed by the test items: body structure, body function, activities, participation or environmental factors). TEST ADMINISTRATION - The type of administration used for the test: clinical test, self-, proxy- or interviewer-completed questionnaire or telephone or semi-structured interview. - Clinical utility summarized in one sentence. - The time required to score the test in a routine clinical practice (when available). - The evaluator actually scoring the test: patient, therapist or proxy. - Brief description of the training required to administer the test and whether training material is available (when available). - Brief description of the equipment required to administer the test (when available). PSYCHOMETRIC QUALITIES - The type of scoring of the test: descriptive (qualitative appraisal rather than scoring), classification, profile score or total score. - Scaling level of the test score: nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio. - Either unidimensional or multidimensional scoring of the test. - Evidence of content validity. - Evidence of concurrent validity. - Evidence of construct validity. - Evidence of internal consistency. - Evidence of reproducibility test-retest. - Evidence of reproducibility inter rater.
