Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The main parameters are psychometric attributes of a novel Parkinson*s Disease specific rating scale, that assesses the constructs gait (including freezing of gait), balance, posture and concerns about falling. Using CTT statistics, the following psychometric properties will be tested: data quality and acceptability, reliability (internal consistency and stability or test-retest reliability), precision and construct and structural validity. Using Rasch analysis, the following psychometric attributes are evaluated: internal construct validity, optimal scoringscheme, uni-dimensionality, item fit, item local independency, and item bias by subgroups of respondents. The test consistency will be assessed using test-retest reliability coefficients.
