Disability and rehabilitation
-
Psychometric properties of the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS-II) in stroke have received some attention recently, mostly using classical approaches, but there is still an absence of investigation from a modern psychometric perspective. This study aimed to test the reliability and validity of the WHODAS-II in stroke, using modern psychometric analysis. ⋯ WHODAS-II provides a reliable and valid instrument for measuring disability and components of "activities" and "participation" in stroke survivors. Various combinations of the item set may provide a range of scales to suit most research needs.
