Computer adaptive testing (CAT) offers a promising potential solution by providing a quick, yet precise, measure of function that can be used across a broad range of patient abilities and in multiple settings. CAT technology yields a precise score by selecting very few relevant items from a large and diverse item pool based on each individual's responses. We demonstrate the potential usefulness of a CAT assessment model with a cross-sectional sample of persons with stroke from multiple rehabilitation settings. %B Stroke Rehabilitation %7 2004/05/01 %V 11 %P 33-39 %8 Spring %@ 1074-9357 (Print) %G eng %M 15118965
