This research aims to utilize Rasch analysis to improve measurement of functional ability across various healthcare settings.
Applied Rasch analysis to produce scale-free measurements of functional ability.
Utilized computerized adaptive testing to tailor assessments to individual patient ability levels.
Evaluated item-difficulty order for different functional ability assessment tools.
Established a systematic approach for comparing functional ability outcomes across different assessment instruments.
Reduced assessment length by 50% using automated item targeting in adaptive testing processes.
Provided evidence for equiprecise measurement across all levels of functional ability.
