Content: Second is the Activity Inventory, formerly Disability Inventory, which assesses gross motor function (10 items evaluating rolling, sitting, transferring and standing) and walking (5 items)[1]. The 15 items are scored on a 7-point scale (1 through 7, complete dependence to independent, respectively). See also: Chedoke Arm and Hand Activity Inventory
Purpose[edit| edit source]
The CMSA has three overall purposes: Stage motor recovery to classify individuals in terms of clinical characteristics
Predict rehabilitation outcomes
Measure clinically important change in physical function[1]
Intended Population[edit| edit source]
The CMSA was initially developed for the assessment of patients with stroke, its application has been more widely demonstrated, specifically for the Activity Inventory. This assessment tool was initially developed and validated for use with clients from an inpatient and day-hospital population. The initial development and validation studies were carried out on a Stroke Unit of the Chedoke Rehabilitation Centre[2]. The Activity Inventory (formerly the Disability Inventory) has been shown to be a valid measure of functional change in clients in an acute neurological setting[3]and for those with acquired brain injury[4]. The Chedoke Assessment has been shown to function as discriminative, predictive, and evaluative measure. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of the Activity Inventory for neurological clients, including those with stroke, is 7 points when determined a physiotherapist, 4, 6, 7 and the MCID of the Activity Inventory is 8 points when determined by clients with stroke and their caregivers.
