The ratings on the Tufts Assessment of Motor-Performance are subjected to a rigorous and comprehensively reported Rasch analysis conducted by Steve Haley and Larry Ludlow (1992). This discussion is parallel to Ludlow & Haley (1992), but focussed at practitioners. Particularly eye-catching in the Physical Therapy paper is a diagram that summarizes the item difficulty distribution. Each construct is represented by a line and each item by a tick mark, located at that item's difficulty. This figure presents the composition of the instrument in an immediately comprehensible and aesthetically pleasing manner. [The version shown is only an artist's impression of that in the original paper].
