SCI-FI Enhancement and Validation (Spinal Cord Injury - Functional Independence Computer Adaptive Testing: An SCI Model System Study
The SCI Model Systems National Database uses the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) as a tool to assess and track function. But there are concerns about the appropriateness of using the FIM in the SCI population because it may miss differences in function among people with SCI who have different levels of injury severity. Seven Model Systems Centers conducted a study over the past five years and developed a new measure that includes functional activities relevant and important to persons across all levels and severity of SCI injury. We are now continuing this study with nine Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems programs to enhance and evaluate the this new tool, called the Spinal Cord Injury Functional Index (SCI-FI).Project type: Research
Year started: 2016
Diagnosis: Spinal Cord Injury
