Methods: A psychometric validation study of the ULFI-Sp was conducted on 216 voluntary breast cancer survivors. Background: The Upper Limb Functional Index (ULFI) is an internationally widely used outcome measure with robust, valid psychometric properties. An index close to 0.95 was considered acceptable, while an index of 0.97 was considered indicative of a good fit [, Factor structure by MLE was carried out with the software Statistical Package Social Science Version 25.0 (SPSS 25.0) [, BCS were aged 51.64 (9.10). 23 self-report items with 3 subscales: pain (9 items), disability (9 items) and activity limitation (5 items) Each item is rated on a 0 - 10 Likert scale. ; Bartlett, M.S.

These tools also guide treatment decisions and assess the effectiveness of interventions, including direct comparisons between pre- and post-operative status, and subsequently during rehabilitation [13]. This is considered to support the criterion validity of the ULFI-Sp however as it is not as strong as findings in the previous research that used a region specific criterion standard that was advocated as representative of the upper limb kinetic chain. In most cases Physiopedia articles are a secondary source and so should not be used as references.

Gabel CP, Melloh M, Burkett B, Michener L: The Lower Limb Functional Index: development and validation of the clinimetric properties and practical characteristics. The ULFI-Sp also provides a means of comparing upper limb health state in Spanish-speaking patients with their English-speaking counterparts in countries with a high Spanish population such as the United States. 10.1016/j.jse.2008.12.015, Miller LA, Swanson S: Summary and Recommendations of the Academys State of the Science Conference on Upper Limb Prosthetic Outcome Measures. This supports the findings of the previous research where redundancy was not present but potential shortening was recommended, perhaps to as low as 10 items [7]. 2023 Jan 19;7(1):100051. doi: 10.1016/j.rpth.2023.100051. ; Osborne, J.W.

On a valu la validit des groupes connus au moyen d'une analyse bidirectionnelle des carts (ANOVA) entre trois niveaux d'tat de fonctionnement. The total score was accounted for, not the individual questionnaire response items. The cross-cultural adaptation of the ULFI into Spanish enables clinicians in Spanish speaking settings to compare outcomes following their treatments and interventions affecting the upper limb.
