PROMIS Physical Function Item Banks for Neurological Disorders

PROsetta Stone Wave 3 demonstrates the feasibility of linking PROMIS Physical Function item banks for post-acute care patients and the US general population. The dataset, authored by David Cella, aims to expand patient-reported outcome assessment options and facilitate cross-trial comparisons for neurological disorders.

Use Cases

• Link AM-PAC and general population PROMIS item banks to calibrate physical function scores across different patient groups.
• Analyze item response patterns to validate the measurement equivalence of PROMIS Physical Function scales for neurological conditions.
• Develop crosswalk tables to facilitate comparisons of physical function data from clinical trials in different diseases.

Strengths

• Dataset is part of the established PROsetta Stone project, indicating a structured methodological approach.
• Authored by David Cella, a recognized expert in patient-reported outcomes measurement.
• Last updated in January 2026, suggesting recent maintenance.

Limitations

• No column names, sample data, or row counts are provided, limiting initial assessment of data structure and scale.
• The specific file formats and data size are unknown, complicating download and integration planning.
• The license terms are unspecified, which may restrict potential use cases.
