Validity and reliability of a rating scale for the primary torsion dystonias
Abstract
For quantitative assessment of the primary torsion dystonias, a rating scale is proposed that has two sections--a Movement Scale, based on examination, and a Disability Scale, based on the patient's statements about seven activities of daily living. We assessed the validity of the Movement Scale by comparing scores with a ranking of patients according to dystonia severity and with ratings of the patients on the Disability Scale. In addition, we assessed the inter-and intra-rater reliability of the scale by comparing independent scorings of patients by four examiners and by comparing scorings by the same examiners performed at different times. We found that the Movement Scale was a valid and reliable indicator of the severity of primary torsion dystonia.

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.
