Date Presented 04/04/19 This poster describes how individuals living above and below the federal poverty line spend their time engaged in occupation and the meaningfulness associated with this time-use. Results from this study indicate that systematic barriers, such as poverty, may influence how individuals spend their time and the type and amount of meaning associated with their time-use. This information may be used to guide the OT process when working with individuals at varying socioeconomic levels.

This secondary analysis quantified the psychometric properties of the Ohio Modified Arm–Motor Ability Test (OMAAT) in a sample of neurologically stable chronic stroke survivors (n = 67, 40 men; mean age 59.8 yr, standard deviation = 12.8; 42 White, 23 Black, 2 other; 92.5% right-sided lesion; 44 ischemic stroke). Findings indicate high OMAAT internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = .97, ordinal α = .98, Gugiu’s bootstrap reliability = .97), unidimensionality, and strong positive factor loadings for all 20 OMAAT items. Convergent validity between OMAAT and Action Research Arm Test total scores was strong (r = .90, p < .0001). The OMAAT is the first short measure of upper extremity functional limitation available to clinicians and researchers that includes an administration manual and that has been examined using nonparametric psychometrics. A detailed administration manual is provided as a supplement to this article.
