clinimetric properties

Clinimetric properties refer to the qualities that determine how well a measurement tool, like a questionnaire or test, performs. These properties include reliability (consistency of results over time), validity (accuracy in measuring what it's supposed to measure), responsiveness (ability to detect changes over time), and precision (degree of detail). Ensuring good clinimetric properties means the tool provides trustworthy, meaningful, and consistent information, which is essential for making informed clinical decisions or evaluating outcomes effectively.
