Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the psychometric properties of the KOOS, IKDC, and MARS to better understand how these items perform in patients ranging from low function (eg, injured adults) to high function (eg

intrarater reliability studies of various smartphone apps and devices for the measurement of joint range of motion have been conducted, 2 in particular for CROM. Tousignant-Laflamme et al 7 examined the psychometric properties of an iPhone app, the Clinometer (Clin-app), compared with a CROM device. Quek et

However, most researchers opt for the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF; Keyes et al., 2008 ), likely due to its retention of psychometric validity, while obtaining practical ease and lessening participant time burden ( Jovanović, 2015 ). The 14-item MHC-SF includes three items (two for

Because of the need for valid and reliable measures of SE, this study examined the psychometric properties of the SEQ among older adults in
