Systematic review of measurement properties of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure in geriatric rehabilitation

Key summary points Aim To make a systematic overview of measurement properties of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) for people in geriatric rehabilitation. Findings COPM showed moderate inter-rater reliability, good test–retest reliability, good content and construct validity, and moderate responsiveness in geriatric rehabilitation. When studying construct validity, authors used a variety of comparator instruments and different hypotheses. Message This overview of properties shows that the COPM gives relevant information for geriatric rehabilitation, and scores can be assessed reliably and are responsive to change.
