Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2004;85:1339–44. Objective To evaluate the responsiveness to change and the floor and ceiling effects of the Houghton Scale. Design One-week and 3-month test-retest to evaluate reliability, validity, and responsiveness to change. Setting Amputee rehabilitation program. Participants Persons (N=125) with unilateral or bilateral lower-extremity amputation who were wearing a prostheses: 1 group (n=49) for the reliability component and another group (n=76) for the responsiveness and validity component. Interventions Not applicable. Main outcome measures Responsiveness to change, ceiling and floor effects, and reliability and convergent validity. Results Evaluation of responsiveness to change (n=76) showed that the total score increased from a mean ± standard deviation of 6.14±2.40 at discharge to 7.70±2.62 ( P r =.393, P r =.620, P r =.653, P Conclusions The Houghton Scale is appropriately responsive to change in prosthetic use in individuals with lower-limb amputation after rehabilitation. |
