Observations

Content validity, construct validity, reliability, and responsiveness were assesed in 243 subjects who were separated into a group expected to change and a group expected to remain stable.

1. RELIABILITY
A. Internal Consistency Tested
Cronbach's (Describe)

Cronbach's alpha= 0.96-0.98

B. Reliability intraobserver or test-retest Tested
Continuous scores: intraclass
correlation coefficient (ICC)
Dichotomus: Cohen kappa (Describe)

ADL subscale: ICC = 0.89; SEM = 2,1 points. Sport subscale: ICC = 0.87; SEM = 4,5 points

C. Reliability interobserver or Measurement error Not Tested
Standard error of measurement (SEM),
smallest detectable change (SDC) or
Limits of agreement (LoA) (Describe)
2. VALIDITY
A. Content validity: face validity Tested
Expert opinion (relevance and
comprehensiveness) (Describe)

For the development of the FAAM, both experts and patients were involved in the final item reduction.

B. Construct Validity:
Structural validity
Not Tested
Hypotheses-testing Tested
Cross-cultural validity Tested
Brief Description
C. Criterion validity Not Tested
Comparison with a 'gold standard' Continuous scores:
correlations, ROC curves Dichotomus:
Sensitivity & Specificity (Describe)
