Source of Psychometric Data
The Stanford Spanish Arthritis Self-Management Study (Programa de Manejo Personal de la Artritis). The psychometrics were done on the original 20-item Spanish scale, resulting in this version. Psychometrics reported in: González V, Stewart A, Ritter P, Lorig K, Translation and validation of arthritis outcome measures into Spanish. Arthritis and Rheumatism, 38(10),1995, pp.1429-1446.
Comments
This is a modified version of the 20-item Spanish disability scale which we translated and back translated from the Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire. We have replaced the numbers with check boxes on the print version. It should be noted that the items have been chosen as they represent use of every major joint in the body. While closely related to an ADL scale this is not an ADL scale but rather a disability scale.
