Indian Occupational Therapists Think Tank

Compilation of Outcome Measures used in India The use of outcome measures is critical in occupational therapy (OT) practice and research. However, many practitioners and students find it difficult to identify and access outcome measures. To overcome this difficulty, IOTTT has developed this compilation of outcome measures. The measures listed are the ones reported in OT practice and research in India. This resource is free for everyone to use. Please feel free to download a copy of the compilation spreadsheet and use filter functions to locate a suitable scale. Please note that this compilation will be updated periodically and is not all inclusive. If you would like to contribute to this resource, please follow the instructions identified in the spreadsheet. To learn how best to utilize this resource, you may watch this video .
