A Weighted Version of the Melbourne Low-Vision ADL Index: A Measure of Disability Impact

Abstract: The MLVAI is highly valid and reliable when weighted by a scale that reflects the personal importance of ADL's. The MLVAI(W) can provide information over and above that obtained with the usual clinical vision measures and may be used to assess low-vision patients and to measure low-vision rehabilitation outcomes. It is suggested that the assessment of disability using the original MLVAI and the assessment of the impact of disability using the MLVAI(W) should be kept separate to facilitate the clear interpretat… Show more

“…69,93,100,107 Although clinical outcomes are important, they do not necessarily reflect the abilities that the patients will show in their home environment; for example, a large discrepancy has been demonstrated between individuals with a good near VA in the clinic (75%), and those able to resolve small print at home (39%). 93 From this review, it was apparent that in the past decade there has been a drive towards assessing outcomes based on measures of ability and/or independence in performing daily tasks, 48,65,110 on measures of psychological status, 52,72,75 or on patient-reported quality-of-life. 43,70,91,115 Instruments assessing functional status may be scored entirely based on a patient's judgment of their own ability (self-report/patient-rated assessment), e.g.…”

“…Assessments of daily living activities offer diverse assessment modes: questionnaire, observation, or both [28][29][30][31][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48]. Questionnaires allow the client's perception to be included [29][30][31][33][34]38,41,44,[46][47][48][49].…”

“…But existing assessments, such as the Functional Independence Measure for Blind Adults (FIMBA) [39][40]42], the Low Vision Functional Status Evaluation [43], and the Melbourne Low-Vision Activities of Daily Living Index and its weighted version [35][36][37], have another limitation: they are not based on a conceptual framework. A conceptual framework allows the professional to group variables for a better understanding of the observed phenomenon and shows how it is interpreted [17,22,[63][64].…”
