Verification of item difficulty in the Capabilities of Upper Extremity Test using Rasch analysis for individuals with cervical spinal cord injury
The CUE-T showed good structural validity for 10 items. Indicated the degree of difficulty was similar to the neurological perspective, therefore, it may reflect the clinical practice of upper limb function in CSCI. These results may be useful for setting the difficulty level for rehabilitation of upper limb function in CSCI and for developing better evaluation methods in the future.
