Abstract
Reviews a functional and health status outcome measures used in rheumatology therapy research and practice. Looks at the results of a national survey conducted with rheumatology occupational therapies to identity which functional assessments are most used. The majority of respondents considered standardised assessments to be valuable in clinical practice. Over half used a standardised measure, with the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), Modified HAQ and Barthel Index being the commonest. The reasons for non-use were mainly a lack of knowledge of assessments available or difficulty in accessing these. All departments using standardised assessments did so in conjunction with a non-standardised activities of daily living assessment, because the former were not considered to provide sufficient detail for treatment planning purposes.
