Identifying Instruments to Assess Care Quality for Individuals With Custom Ankle Foot Orthoses: A Scoping Review.

摘要: Abstract Objectives We conducted 2 complementary scoping reviews to identify instruments that assess the experience and outcomes of custom ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) care in individuals with neurologic traumatic conditions determine what extent they might be psychometrically sound for AFO users. A stakeholder advisory committee considered identified feasible use developing quality measures Data Sources Both were using PubMed, Cumulative Index Nursing Allied Health Literature, Embase, Cochrane Systematic Reviews. The following used first review only: Central Register Controlled Trials Physiotherapy Evidence Database. Study Selection initial yielded 79 articles 82 instruments, 16 which 4 or more studies. second 57 reporting psychometric properties. Extraction Psychometric properties populations who AFOs summarized 15 instruments. eliminated insrtruments, noted overlap between terms constructs measured, suggested 6 potential contemporary substitutes. Synthesis Most assessed activity (specifically mobility) pertained National Quality Forum domain “Health-Related Life.” 10-meter walk test, 6-minute Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up Go, Rivermead Mobility reported have adequate reliability validity, administration a clinical setting. Conclusions Complementary demonstrated some reasonable are available care. However, suitable this population not but needed comprehensive evaluation
