  • Transformation of the raw scores to interval-level scores on a logit scale.

  • *Extreme scores measure inaccurate estimate of disability. A higher raw score indicates a higher disability. As can be seen, the 1-point difference between a raw score of 15 and 16 points is 2 on the interval scale, whereas the 1-point difference between a raw score of 1 and 2 points is 8 on the interval scale.
