- PreviewThe first study to use Rasch Measurement (RM) Theory in the context of a rehabilitation outcomes assessment appeared in 1988. Since that time, the number of studies using RM theory as part of the analytical procedures has grown exponentially. In 2019, a total of 109 studies reported applying RM Theory to the analysis of 1 or more outcome assessments in a rehabilitation context. To address the variation in reporting RM Theory that has grown alongside the growth of studies using this method, a task force of the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine (ACRM) Measurement Interdisciplinary Special Interest Group (M-ISIG) (previously Measurement Networking Group) convened to develop this reporting guideline.
