High-level mobility assessment tool (HiMAT): Interrater reliability, retest reliability, and internal consistency

Abstract

Background and Purpose. The High-Level Mobility Assessment Tool (HiMAT) assesses high-level mobility in people who have sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The purpose of this study was to investigate the interrater reliability, retest reliability, and internal consistency of data obtained with the HiMAT. Subjects. Three physical therapists and 103 people with TBI were recruited from a rehabilitation hospital. Methods. Three physical therapists concurrently assessed a subset of 17 subjects with TBI to investigate interrater reliability. One physical therapist assessed a different subset of 20 subjects with TBI on 2 occasions, 2 days apart, to investigate retest reliability. Data from t..
