Key result
The Reintegration to Normal Living Index (RNL-I) showed good test-retest reliability in adults with late effects of polio, with an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.88.
Why the study?
Many individuals with late effects of polio have difficulty participating in daily activities, but knowledge regarding the test-retest reliability and measurement errors of the RNL-I in this population is lacking.
Is the Reintegration to Normal Living Index (RNL-I) a reliable tool for assessing perceived participation in adults with late effects of polio?
Observational (n=51)
No

Effect estimate: ICC 0.88
The RNL-I is a reliable self-report questionnaire for assessing perceived participation in adults with mild to moderate late effects of polio.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports RNL-I consideration for participation assessment in polio survivors; leaves open broader validation before routine use.
Andersson et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Late effects of polio (n=51). Reintegration to Normal Living Index (RNL-I) vs. Retest 3 weeks later was evaluated on Test-retest reliability (percentage agreement, kappa, ICC, mean difference, SEM, SRD) (ICC 0.88). The Reintegration to Normal Living Index (RNL-I) showed good test-retest reliability in adults with late effects of polio, with an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.88.
