| DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENT | |
| Type Of Measure | Item Bank |
| Brief Description |
The PROMIS PF Upper Extremity CAT measures upper extremity function. The PROMIS PF item bank was developed in 2014 as part of the PROMIS initiative, which is a National Institutes of Health Common Fund project involving the dynamic assessment of patient-reported outcomes. It is a self-assessment measure, using pen and paper for the static version or completed electronically for the CAT version. |
| Number of Items | The CAT uses a maximum of 12 of the 16 items. Users may vary CAT parameters. |
| Range | - |
| Responses options/scale |
Yes 0-5 |
| Developed for | Clinical practice, Research |
| PRACTICAL APPLICATION | |
| Method of administration | Online/Mail based, Self-administered |
| Recommendations to score |
PROMIS measures are scored using a T-score metric with a mean of 50 and an SD of 10; |
| Score Interpretation | Higher scores indicate greater function. |
| Cut-off points | - |
| Cut-off points applied to | --- |
| Smallest detectable change if described | --- |
| Smallest detectable change applied to | --- |
| Completion time by the patient | - minutes |
| Scoring time by the assessor | - minutes |
| Training to score | RedCap) that have access to scoring algorithms for estimating T scores. |
| Strengths | Easy to use, Useful in clinical practice & research |
| Limitations | Ceiling effect |
| OTHER COMMENTS | |
| Other Comments |
The PROMIS PF Upper Extremity CAT is short, uses item response theory, has very good evidence of validity and good evidence for responsiveness, has been used in varying shoulder conditions, and is free to use. |
