This paper reviews motor measures for clinicians and researchers, focusing on neuromusculoskeletal functions and mobility within the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework. It details measure properties and discusses future directions for motor assessment.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Science
  • Movement Science
  • Clinical Measurement

Background:

  • Outcome measures are crucial tools for clinicians and researchers in evaluating health and function.
  • Standardized classification systems like the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provide a framework for understanding human functioning.
  • Motor measures are essential for assessing physical capabilities in various populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of motor measures relevant to clinical practice and research.
  • To classify these measures according to the ICF framework, specifically focusing on body functions and activity/participation domains.
  • To describe the psychometric properties of presented motor measures and identify current challenges and future research directions.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review and synthesis of existing literature on motor measurement tools.
  • Classification of motor measures based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) domains.
  • Description of the psychometric properties (e.g., reliability, validity) of selected measures.

Main Results:

  • Identification and categorization of key neuromusculoskeletal and movement-related body function measures.
  • Presentation of mobility measures within the ICF's activity and participation domains.
  • Summary of the psychometric evidence supporting the use of these motor measures.

Conclusions:

  • Motor measures, classified within the ICF, are valuable for both research and clinical applications.
  • Understanding the psychometric properties of these measures is critical for accurate assessment.
  • Addressing current challenges and pursuing future directions will enhance the utility and scope of motor measurement.
