Brief Summary

The overall aim of the study is to assess whether each outcome measures the same aspect of overall functioning or contributes with different aspects. More specifically, the aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between each single instrument.

During study period all patients presenting at our clinic will be offered to participate in the study. Patients will be included in the study when referred to the department of Social Medicine and providing written informed consent to participate in the study. Inclusion will continue until 100 patients have completed an AMPS test. All participants will, apart from standard procedure, be asked to complete:

* An AMPS-test

* ADL-Q (Questionnaire concerning Activities of Daily Living)

* ADL-I (Interview based questionnaire concerning Activites of Daily Living)

As standard procedure all participants will also perform/complete:

* 30 seconds chair stand test (30sCST)

* Hand grip strength (HGS)

* Evaluation of ambulation (Cumulated Ambulation Score /CAS)

* WORQ (Work Rehabilitation Questionnaire)

To obtain the aim of the study correlation-analysis will be performed to investigate the relationship between each included instruments.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS)Within 21 days from baseline

Based on observation of 2 ADL tasks the quality of 16 motor and 20 process skills are scored on a four-point ordinal scale. Using Rasch analysis the raw ordinal scores are converted into two overall ADL ability measures, representing ADL motor and ADL process ability expressed in logits.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Hand Grip strengthBaseline

Measured in kilograms

Cumulated Ambulation Score (CAS)Baseline

Scoring of three mobility activities on a three point ordinal scale (zero to 2). The scores are summed resulting in a total score ranging from 0 to 6.

30 seconds chair stand testBaseline

Total number of stands performed in 30 seconds

Work Rehabilitation Questionnaire (WORQ)The questionnaire is responded one time during a periode ranging from 7 days prior to baseline until 21 days after baseline

The questionnaire consists of 17 items on sociodemographic topics and 40 items related to overall functioning. The 40 items are each scored on a response scale ranging from 0 to 10. The results are summed in four linear subscales addressing emotion, cognition, dexterity and mobility. A total sum score is performed.

ADL-IWithin 21 days from baseline

Raw data collected in the interview is scored on a four-point ordinal scale and subsequently converted into a linear measure of self-reported ADL ability expressed in logits (log-odds probability units).

ADL-QWithin 21 days from baseline

Raw data collected in the questionnaire is scored on a four-point ordinal scale and subsequently converted into a linear measure of self-reported ADL ability expressed in logits (log-odds probability units).
