However,the current mobility measures have 4 possible flaws: (1) the domains measured arelimited (not including all the mobility tasks, e.g., transfer, crawling, walking, running,jumping); (2) the measures are unable to assess mobility function in a both preciseand efficient fashion; (3) the scores rendered from the measures are ordinal, notinterval, and thus unable to quantify mobility function effectively; (4) the value ofminimal important difference and the cut-off scores of the functional mobility stagesare lacking, limiting data interpretation. These flaws poorly affect clinical decisionmaking and outcome measurement.Recent research has shown that combining both item response theory (e.g.,Rasch modeling) and computerized adaptive testing (CAT) can overcome theaforementioned flaws. Rasch modeling can arrange the items measuring a singledimension in a hierarchical order and render interval scores, and it can also estimatecut-off scores for functional recovery stages. CAT can allow measurement in a timelyfashion without losing precision of measurement. Thus, we aim to develop a CATsystem for measuring Mobility in Patients with Stroke (CAMPS) on the basis ofRasch modeling in order to measure mobility function.This project, which will be completed over a period of 3 years, will be dividedinto 6 stages: (1) development of items for the CAMPS (> 60 items), (2) item testingon 300 subjects, (3) item analysis using Rasch analysis, (4) simulation analysis, (5)development of a web-based testing platform for the CAMPS, and (6) investigation ofpsychometric properties (including concurrent validity, predictive validity, andresponsiveness) and estimation of MID of the CAMPS on 100 subjects. We willestimate cut-off scores for functional stages for the CAMPS. We will also compare thepsychometric properties and efficiency of the CAMPS with a traditional mobilitymeasure to determine whether the CAMPS is better than the traditional mobilitymeasure.Our CAMPS might be the first CAT for measuring mobility function in the world.The CAMPS will have 4 advantages: (1) the content will cover the entire spectrum ofmobility function; (2) the CAMPS will be able to measure mobility in a timely andprecise fashion; (3) the score of CAMPS will be an interval score and thus able toeffectively quantify mobility function; and (4) the values of minimal importantdifference and cut-off scores of functional stages will be valuable for users to interpretthe scores of CAMPS. The CAMPS will help clinicians and researchers in decisionmaking and outcome measurement.Development of a Computerized Adaptive Testing System for Measuring Mobility in Patients
