Measures were characterized as those that students should learn to administer, should be exposed to, or are not recommended in entry-level PT education. The task force also made recommendations related to entry-level PT education. Recommendations for use of each outcome measure reviewed were categorized by acuity level: acute (0-3mo), subacute (3-6mo), and chronic (>6mo), and ASIA Impairment Scale (motor complete and motor incomplete). *Please note the difference in this rating definition as compared to earlier EDGE task forces (MS and Stroke)Ī modified Delphi process was used by the entire task force to reach a consensus regarding the final recommendations. *ġ= do not recommend the outcome measure has poor psychometric properties and/or poor clinical utility Recommendations for use of an outcome measure were rated on a 4 point ordinal scaleĤ= highly recommended the outcome measure has excellent psychometric properties and clinical utilityģ= recommended the outcome measure has good psychometric properties and good clinical utilityĢ= reasonable to use, but limited study in target group the outcome measure has good or excellent psychometric properties and clinical utility in a related population, but insufficient study in target population to support higher recommendation.EDGE documents provide the recommendation with supporting comments and the complete details of the measure are on the RMD, which will continue to be updated by RMD. EDGE documents and RMD documents are designed to be used together. If a RMD summary did not exist, we created one. As task force members reviewed an outcome measure, we also reviewed the existing RMD summary.

Additionally, we collaborated with The Rehabilitation Measures Database (RMD).

The taskforce also considered clinical utility of a measure. The psychometric properties of the measures were reviewed using a modified EDGE (Evidence Database to Guide Effectiveness) template (a format recommended by the APTA EDGE task force).

A pair of task force members completed initial review of each measure.

Both self report measures and performance measures were included.

The taskforce included outcome measures representing all levels of the ICF, body structure/function, activity, and participation.

Measures considered for selection for review were compiled from, measures recommended by the Academy's SCI Special Interest Group, measures in the Rehabilitation Measures Database, those that were included in the Entry-level Neurologic Content Guidelines, as well as a literature review related to outcome measures in SCI.
