Assessment measures included the Rivermead Perceptual Assessment Battery and an ADL scale. The 36 Ss without perceptual deficits were more often independent than the 114 Ss with perceptual deficits. On simple ADL tasks, but not on more complex ones, left hemiplegic Ss were more often independent than right hemiplegic Ss. There was a significant correlation between perceptual abilities and ADL scores of independence in self-care and household activities. Visual neglect was not related to independence in either S group. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)

Content validity was established by comparing the Edmans ADL index with other published ADL assessments. Construct validity was established by comparing the Edmans and Barthel ADL indices, for 60 patients admitted consecutively to the Nottingham stroke unit. This showed a strong association between assessments. Inter-rater reliability was assessed by two occupational therapists, who independently and simultaneously assessed 20 patients individually on the stroke unit. This showed 96% excellent/good agreement between observers. Test-retest reliability was established by assessing 20 patients, 1 year post-stroke, on two separate occasions, 1 month apart. Results showed 85% excellent/good agreement over time. We conclude that the Edmans ADL index has content and construct validity, is sensitive to change over time, and has inter-rater and test-retest reliability.
