Content
The main topics will be the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) proposed by the WHO (2001), which will serve as a reference framework for classifying the various functional assessment scales for measuring impairments, activity limitations and participation restrictions of patients. The psychometric qualities of each of the functional assessment scales will be described. At the end of this course, the student will be able to select and use appropriate tests with satisfactory psychometric qualities to evaluate the impairments, disabilities, and participation difficulties encountered by his patients.
Teaching methods
Theoretical presentation of the ICF model, the psychometric properties of the tests, the Rasch model and the statistics to be applied according to the questionnaires.
Project-based work (5 students) around a clinical case taking into account the ICF model. Research of ad hoc clinical tests, justification of their psychometric qualities, explanation of how the tests are taken and how to rate them.he students will also have to be able to carry out a physiotherapy session in tele-rehabilitation.
The course will be given in auditory. The projects will be presented on TEAMS
Evaluation methods
In this course, students are evaluated for two distinct parts :
- continuous assessment including a compulsory oral presentation by groups of 5 students during Q1 (50% of the final grade - part A - Provided that the other party has passed). 
- a written QCM exam in session for the part of Pr Bleyenheuft (50% of the final mark - part B - Provided that the other party has passed). 
The QCM is composed of 20 multiple choice questions with one correct answer. One point is awarded for each correct answer and no points are awarded for no answer or incorrect answer.
The final grade is the arithmetic average of the grades for parts A and B, provided that both parts were presented. If not, the mark is reduced to 0.
The exam takes place in an auditorium, and students are required to sign in on an attendance sheet. Failure to sign in or to attend will be considered as cheating.
