Wessels, Marleen D.; Van Assen, Arjen A. G.; Post, Wendy J.; Van der Putten, Annette A. J. – Journal of Intellectual & Developmental Disability, 2023
Background: There are no psychometrically validated instruments available to measure motor skills of children with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD). In this study, the construct validity and reliability (Rho) of the Motor Development List for children with PIMD (MDL-PIMD), a proxy-reported measure, was investigated. Methods:…

Wessels, Marleen D.; Paap, Muirne C. S.; Van der Putten, Annette A. J. – Journal of Intellectual & Developmental Disability, 2021
Background: Research about the psychometric properties of the Behavioural Appraisal Scales (BAS) in people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) is limited. This study evaluates invariance in factor structure, item bias and convergent validity of the BAS. Methods: Data on the BAS from two studies (n = 25; n = 52) were…

Wessels, Marleen D.; Bossink, Leontien W. M.; van der Putten, Annette A. J. – Journal of Cognitive Education and Psychology, 2017
One of the benefits of physical activity in people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) is an increase in alertness. This study investigated the effect of a power-assisted exercise intervention on alertness and the relationship of this effect to the level of additional motor and visual impairments in people with PIMD. A…
