Abstract:
Objective To study the validity and reliability of the simplified Chinese version of Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment (LOTCA). MethodsThe English version of LOTCA was translated into the simplified Chinese first and then translated back to English to ensure its reliability in Chinese version.The we recruited two groups of volunteers to participate in the study. One group consisted of 36 patients with brain disorders (patient group), The other group consisted of 43 subjects without neurological disorders (control group). All the subjects were assessed with LOTCA and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) within one session and on different days, respectively by two independent raters. Scores of LOTCA and MMSE were analyzed with Spearman correlation coefficient to test the validity of LOTCA. Intra-class coefficients (ICCs) were used to examine the intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of LOTCA. And Mann-Whitney test of non-parameters analysis was used to detect the sensitivity of LOTCA. ResultsThere was high correlation between the scores of LOTCA and that of MMSE ( r =0.9852- 0.9939 ). ICCs of LOTCA were 0.9923( P
