ABSTRACT

The scientific investigation of developmental neurorehabilitation has been negatively impacted by a lack of outcome measures sensitive to interventional effect, and is currently in need of assessment measures that can be used during social distancing protocols. Here we report on the usability and feasibility from a pilot test of a novel assessment methodology. This preliminary data demonstrate the usability and feasibility of this assessment system, suggests that it is sensitive to change, and supports the further development and testing of this assessment. The assessment methodology, here presented, generates a percent change score based on the metric measurement of individualized goals before and after intervention, thereby facilitating comparisons between groups and across goals. Moreover, it can be conducted remotely and introduces the novel element of goal appropriacy assessment such that goal selection, as well as goal attainment, are assessed via metric measurement.

摘要

由于缺乏对干预效果敏感的结果措施，发育性神经康复的科学调查受到了负面影响，目前需要可在社会疏远协议中使用的评估措施。在这里，我们报告了一种新型评估方法的试点测试的可用性和可行性。这些初步数据证明了该评估系统的可用性和可行性，表明它对变化很敏感，并支持该评估的进一步开发和测试。此处介绍的评估方法根据干预前后个性化目标的度量来生成百分比变化分数，从而促进组之间和跨目标的比较。而且，
