Abstract:
Previous research has suggested that the MARS represents a unitary dimension, and that inter-rater agreement between occupational and physical therapists is good. This projects seeks to extend these findings by examining inter-rater agreement among additional rehabilitation therapy disciplines. In addition, the MARS will be validated by examining its correlation with a set of neuropsychological measures sensitive to attention, by assessing change in scores between inpatient rehabilitation admission and discharge, and by assessing its responsiveness to methylphenidate treatment.
