Resumen
[EN] Functional assessment methods are an important element in multidimensional
neuropsychological evaluations, particularly in older adults. The
Adults and Older Adults Functional Assessment Inventory is a new measure
of basic and instrumental activities of daily living. Rasch model analyses
were used to analyze the psychometric characteristics of the instrument in a
sample of 803 participants. The original categories did not provide an optimal
assessment of functional incapacity. The scale was dichotomized to achieve a
better reliability score and item fit. The final 50 items revealed a moderately
high variability in item difficulty, acceptable fits to items and persons, and a
good Person Separation Reliability score. The scores were able to discriminate
between normal controls and clinical patients. None of the items
showed Differential Item Functioning associated with age, gender, or education.
The instrument is able to achieve measures of functional incapacity with the
useful properties of the Rasch model.
