Abstract
Medical rehabilitation addresses problems in the measurement of human function and health-related quality of life as well as problems in diagnosis and measurement of impairment. This article summarizes basic principles of measurement relevant to medical rehabilitation and presents examples of standards for development of measures and for their application in clinical practice. Measurement and clinical evaluation in medical rehabilitation need to be grounded in principles of validity and reliability. Improved measurement tools will secure the scientific basis of medical rehabilitation and enhance its long-term growth.
