Methods.TheOTESwasdevelopedthroughthereviewofsimilarscales,eightexperts’opinions,cognitiveinterviews,andpilot testing.TheunidimensionalitywasverifiedwithRaschmodelfittingandprincipalcomponentanalysis.TheRaschreliability wasalsoestimated.Pearson’scorrelationcoefficient(r)wasusedtovalidatethepredictivevaliditybyexaminingtheassociation betweentheRaschscoresoftheOTESandpatients’performanceofactivitiesofdailyliving(ADL).Results.Atotalof253 patientswithstrokewereratedby22therapistsusingtheOTES.Themeanageofthepatientswas623±132yearsold,and 65.2%ofthepatientsweremale.TheinfitandoutfitMNSQofthe12itemsoftheOTESrangedfrom0.62to1.34.The unexplainedvarianceofthefirstdimensionoftheprincipalcomponentanalysiswas4.0%.Themeanpersonreliabilityofthe OTESwas0.88.Pearson’srbetweentheOTESandpatients’ADLperformancewas0.37.Conclusions.TheresultsofRasch analysissupportedthattheitemsoftheOTESwereunidimensional.TheOTEShadsufficientpersonreliabilityandpredictive validityinpatientswithstoke.
