| Classification |
Supplemental: Stroke
|
| Short Description of Instrument |
The Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS) is an observational assessment that measures the performance quality of tasks related to activities of daily living (ADL) in a natural environment. The AMPS is designed to examine interplay between the person, the ADL task, and the environment.
|
| Comments/Special Instructions |
Length of test: 30-40 minutes
The AMPS requires a training course and can be administered in any task-relevant setting.
|
| Scoring and Psychometric Properties |
Scoring:
Sixteen ADL motor skill items are divided into 4 domains (Body Position, Obtaining and Holding Objects, Moving Self and Objects, Sustaining Performance. The 20 ADL process skills are divided into 5 domains (Sustaining Performance, Applying Knowledge, Temporal Organization, Organizing Space and Objects, Adapting Performance).
Item-level scores range from 1= No Problem to 6= Inordinate; cannot test.
Psychometric Properties:
In Stroke participants, AMPS has excellent test/retest reliability (Motor: r= .88-.91; Process: r= .88886-.90) and internal consistency (Motor: Cronbach's alpha= 0.92; Process: Cronbach's alpha= 0.91).
