Measurement of participation needs a rating of both objective performance and subjective appraisals of the person involved. However, only few measures rate subjective participation. Based on the strong resemblance of the concepts of subjective participation and of domain-specific life satisfaction, it is hypothesized that life satisfaction measures may also be useful to rate subjective participation. A literature review revealed several measures already used in spinal cord injury research. The contents and psychometric properties of these measures were described. The Life Satisfaction Questionnaire (LiSat-9) showed the best combination of efficiency, coverage, and psychometric evidence.
