Social consequences of long term impairments and disabilities: conceptual approach and assessment of handicap
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To present a conceptual model of disablement adapted from the WHO model and to conduct a pilot study with a measurement tool (LIFE-H) of the concepts of life habits and handicap situations. DESIGN: Content validity and test-retest reliability study. SETTING: General community. PARTICIPANTS: A panel of 12 experts of rehabilitation for the process of content validity and 49 individuals with spinal cord disorders (adults and children) for the reliability study. OUTCOMES MEASURES: a person's life habits (activities of daily living and social roles). RESULTS: The LIFE-H questionnaire was designed to assess the handicap situations observed in daily life of individuals with disability. The experts concluded that the LIFE-H items covered most of a person's life habits (ADL and social roles) and that it could be used to determine the appearance of handicap situations. The LIFE-H total score showed a good level of reliability for the children and the adult samples (ICC = 0.73 and 0.74, respectively). Taken individually, a majority of life habit categories have shown a moderate to high reliability level (ICC > or = 0.50) while a few life habit categories such as the interpersonal relationship or nutrition showed a lower reliability level. CONCLUSION: The development of LIFE-H allows fulfillment of the need to determine the disruptions in life habits of persons with disabilities.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
