Investigating the Dutch Movement-Specific Reinvestment Scale in people with stroke.
OBJECTIVE
Reinvestment is a phenomenon in which conscious control of movements that are best controlled automatically disrupts performance. The propensity for reinvestment may therefore play an important role in the movement rehabilitation process. The Movement-Specific Reinvestment Scale measures an individual's propensity for reinvestment. The aim of this study was to translate the scale for use with Dutch participants with stroke and to assess its reliability.


METHODS
A test-retest design.


METHODS
In community after discharge from rehabilitation centre.


METHODS
Forty-five people with stroke.


METHODS
Reliability of the translated scale was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and Bland-Altman plot.


RESULTS
The ICC was 0.85 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.74-0.91). Limits of agreement ranged from -2.38 to 3.10.


CONCLUSIONS
The Dutch Movement-Specific Reinvestment Scale appears to be a reliable tool with which to assess the propensity for movement-specific reinvestment by people with stroke.
