Development and Validation of Tools for Evaluation of Orthosis Fabrication / Andonia STEFANOVICH in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 66/6 (novembre-décembre 2012)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 66/6 (novembre-décembre 2012) . - p. 739-746 Titre : Development and Validation of Tools for Evaluation of Orthosis Fabrication Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Andonia STEFANOVICH ; et al. ; Pat McKee ; Camille WILLIAMS Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p. 739-746 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Orthèse  Validation Résumé : This study is the first phase of research aimed at developing new educational approaches to enhance occupational therapy students’ orthosis fabrication skills. Before the effectiveness of training can be determined, a method for evaluating performance must be established. Using the Delphi method, we developed a global rating scale and checklist for evaluating technical competence when fabricating metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint–stabilizing orthoses. To determine the reliability and validity of these tools, three evaluators used them to assess and score orthotic fabrication performance by experienced and student occupational therapists. The results suggest that these measurement tools are valid and reliable indicators of the technical skills involved in fabricating an MCP joint–stabilizing orthosis. Future studies should focus on building on these tools to evaluate communication skills, technical skills for making other types of orthoses, and effectiveness of training programs.
