“…The most commonly used content validation processes involve the assessment of the items of the scale by a panel of experts; however, the instrument in this study is widely used in clinical practice, which would imply that it has the support of professionals, in addition to being recommended by CAULIN [ 12 ] and SRRR [ 13 ]. In addition, it is an instrument of which the translation into Spanish has been used in other studies [ 17 , 21 , 23 , 24 , 44 , 45 ], so it is considered that this content validity process has already been performed for this version of the tool.…”

“…The ARAT measure has been validated in several countries [ 17 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ] and translated into Spanish; however, it has been adapted only to the Hispanic American population [ 17 , 22 ]. However, some studies conducted in Spain [ 24 , 25 ] have used the version of the scale translated into Spanish, but without validation for this population.…”

The validation of measuring instruments in the field of health is a requirement before they can be used safely and reliably. The action research arm test (ARAT) tool is an instrument validated in numerous countries and languages and for different populations, and its use is widespread. The objective of this research was to determine the psychometric properties of ARAT for a sample composed of post-stroke patients. To achieve this, a psychometric analysis was performed, where internal consistency tests were carried out using Cronbach’s alpha, correlations between items and item-total and half-level tests to verify their reliability. Regarding validity, criteria validity tests were performed, taking the motor function dimension of the Fugl–Meyer scale as gold standard, and convergent validity tests were performed by correlation with the FIM–FAM, ECVI-38 and Lawton and Brody scales. The results showed very good internal consistency as well as good criterion and convergent validity. In conclusion, the ARAT can be considered a valid and reliable instrument for the evaluation of upper limb function in post-stroke patients.

“…In recent Delphi studies about assessment tools for the stroke population, occupational therapists were underrepresented compared with other health professions (Kwakkel et al, 2017; Pohl et al, 2020). Cuesta-García et al (2021) explored the UL assessment process of Spanish occupational therapists in adults with acquired brain injury (ABI). They identified 110 assessment tools and found that most occupational therapists mainly assessed the body functions and structures component of the ICF (Cuesta-García et al, 2021).…”

Introduction: There is a lack of explicit tool recommendations for upper limb (UL) assessment in stroke, occupational therapists are frequently underrepresented in consensus studies, and the frequency of use of tools is highly variable between countries. The objective was to generate national occupational therapy consensus recommendations on UL assessment tools in stroke, and to classify the tools that achieve consensus according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) components. Methods: Three-round e-Delphi study of national scope. Occupational therapists working in Spain with training and experience in neurorehabilitation were recruited. Rounds were based on the completion of questionnaires on UL stroke assessment tools. Consensus was reached when ⩾75% of experts gave a ⩾7 rating on a nine-point Likert scale. Results: A total of 29 occupational therapists comprised the expert panel. Twenty-three (17.8%) assessment tools achieved consensus and were classified according to the ICF components of body functions and structures (7), activities (11), participation (3) and other (2). Conclusion: The expert panel recommended 23 outcome measures for UL recovery in stroke, representing all ICF components. The consensus recommendations are intended to assist occupational therapists in their clinical decision-making process, and to reduce the heterogeneity of research tools.

“…People suffering from neurological conditions endure situations in their daily lives that cause severe disability and restrict participation in meaningful activities (Cuesta-García and Alegre-Ayala, 2022; Josman et al, 2020). Occupational performance is a holistic and integrated way of life that a person defines as valuable and relevant, so occupational performance is achieved through active participation in carrying out routines, roles, tasks, and subtasks in his/her own integration of self-care, leisure, and productivity (Blain and Townsend, 1993; Nott et al, 2021).…”

Introduction: Huntington’s disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor dysfunction, cognitive impairment, and psychiatric disorders. These symptoms cause functional limitations in occupational performance. This study aimed to describe the difficulties in self-care, productivity, and leisure activities and to analyze the patients’ own perception and satisfaction and the association with sex, age, disability, HD severity, and quality of life. Method: We conducted an observational, retrospective study in 38 patients with HD without cognitive impairment at the Burgos University Hospital. We assessed occupational performance, quality of life, and HD severity with the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, Short-Form Health Survey 12, Unified Huntington’s Disease Rating Scale, Total Functional Capacity, and the Problems Behavior Assessment. Results: One hundred sixty-five occupations (median 4, range 2–7) were categorized as self-care (50.90%), leisure (30.30%), and productivity (18.79%). Patients reported a higher degree of satisfaction with the activities prioritized than with the degree of performance. Elderly HD patients reported more satisfaction in leisure and women in self-care. Self-ratings of satisfaction in productivity were associated with higher levels of mental wellbeing. Conclusions: HD patients have problems with their daily life occupations, particularly with self-care. This underlines the need for assessment tools that capture the complexity of occupations.
