Outline for the "Discussion" part of the ADL CAT manuscript (8/26 renew)

1. Overall purpose of the study:
Reliability and responsiveness are two essential properties for monitoring the changes of the ADL performance in patients with stroke over time in clinical and research settings. Our findings provide an empirical base on these two essential properties of a precise and efficient ADL measure-ADL CAT for the information of clinicians and researchers while selecting among different ADL measures for use in patients with stroke.
2. The interpretation of the test-retest reliability results [ICC(excellent, 0.94)/MDC(6.6)/MDC% (8.6%, acceptable]
3. The interpretation of the inter-rater reliability results [ICC(excellent, 0.80)/MDC(9.2)/MDC% (11.9%, acceptable]

4. The interpretation of the B-A plots for test-retest and inter-rater conditions [no notable systematic trend for the ADL CAT was presented for the test-retest (r=0.12) or inter-rater condition(r=0.13)]

5. The interpretation of the ADL CAT responsiveness results (Kazis’ effect size=0.62 and SRM=0.73)

6. Clinical application of ADL CAT (according the evidence of psychometric properties, how to use ADL CAT)

7. Study limitation
