Publisher's
description : This Guide assesses the key clinimetric attributes in the
assessment of Parkinson's Disease, with the intention to offer rapid and
pragmatic information on the most relevant scales used. The use of scales for
assessment in neurological disorders such as PD arises from the need to quantify
disorders and states (such constructs as disability, symptoms, quality of life).
Assessment scales are often categorised into two categories: generic (i.e. those
scales usable in any health condition), and specific (i.e. scales developed for
exclusive use in PD). They can have a variety of components: single-item and
multi-item or composite scale; unidimensional and multidimensional; and as
disease-centered and patient-centered measures. The creation and validation of
scales is complex, with scales undergoing numerous studies to assess criteria
such as acceptability, reliability, and responsiveness.
