"Principles of Assessment and Outcome Measurement for Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists aims to provide a comprehensive text on assessment, evaluation and outcome measurement for occupational therapy and physiotherapy students, therapists, managers and educators. The purpose of this book is to enable students, as well as qualified physiotherapists and occupational therapists, to understand the complex art and science of assessment processes, to be familiar with psychometric terms and able to identify the properties of tests in order to select and confidently implement the use of appropriate standardised tests and outcome measures in their clinical practice and research." "The book explores the core principles that underpin effective and efficient therapy assessment processes across a wide range of diagnoses, age groups and practice settings. Examples of standardised tests along with case vignettes and case histories are used to help the reader apply these principles to their practice."--BOOK JACKET.
