PURPOSE: To conduct a preliminary investigation on the ability of the Melbourne Low Vision ADL Index to detect changes in functional ability as a result of @entity4064 rehabilitation. METHODS: Twenty two subjects with @entity1020 ( @entity1020 ) who were newly referred to the Kooyong Low Vision Clinic were recruited. The Melbourne Low Vision ADL Index was administered prerehabilitation and postrehabilitation. Changes in scores and effect size statistics were analyzed. RESULTS: The median total score for the subjects prerehabilitation was 67, and the median total score postrehabilitation was 76. The difference in prerehabilitation and postrehabilitation scores was statistically significant (Wilcoxon signed rank test = 248.5, p < 0.001). The mean change score for the total Melbourne Low Vision ADL Index was 9.3 (SD, 5.6). Thus the overall effect size statistic (mean change score divided by SD of prerehabilitation score) was 0.78. CONCLUSIONS: This preliminary investigation indicates that the Melbourne Low Vision ADL Index is responsive to a rehabilitation program for @entity1 with @entity1020 . It has potential to be used as a measure of @entity4064 rehabilitation outcomes.
