The Utrecht Scale for Evaluation of Rehabilitation (USER) is a multi-domain measurement for measuring physical functioning (PF) and cognitive functioning (CF) in geriatric rehabilitation (GR). Until recently, the measurement properties for patients in geriatric rehabilitation were unclear. To gain insight into these properties, researchers and care organizations form the academic networks UNC-ZH and UNO Amsterdam undertook a series of studies.
Our goal is to describe measurement properties of the USER observation scales for physical and cognitive functioning for patients in geriatric rehabilitation.
Part 1: What is the content validity, structural validity, and reliability of the USER?
Part 2: What is the construct validity and responsiveness of the USER?
