26 participants were asked to identify problems over the course of two interviews. During the initial COPM interview 115 problems were identified. In the second interview 112 problems were identified. 64 problems (56%) mentioned in the first interview were also mentioned in the second interview.

(Martini et al 2014) Adults post stroke (6 community dwelling,> one year post stroke) and children post stroke (8 children performing below the 15^th percentile on the Movement Assessment Battery for Children) were videotaped and rated twice (separated by two weeks) by 3 different raters (research assistant, Occupational Therapist [OT] and OT student). The objective was to determine responsiveness, inter rater and test retest (2 weeks) reliability for the PQRS (Operational Definitions [OD] and Generic systems-[G]) as well as convergent validity between the PQRS-OD, the PQRS-G and the COPM Performance Scores. In terms of convergent validity there was:

• PreTest
  • Poor, virtually no convergent validity between PQRS-G or PQRS-OD with COPM Performance (-0.37 to 0.10) and COPM Satisfaction (-0.23 to -0.07)
• Post test:
  • Poor to Adequate convergent validity based on multiple raters for PQRS-G and PQRS-OD and COPM Performance ( 0.20 to 0.53)
  • Poor convergent validity for PQRS-G and PQRS-OD and COPM Satisfaction (0.04 to 0.29 )
• Change scores
  • Poor to Adequate correlations between PQRS-G and PQRS-OD and COPM Performance (-0.12 to 0.35) and COPM Satisfaction (017-0.58)
  • Correlations between change scores on the PQRS and the COPM were higher for research assistant raters (-0.14 to 0.58) and OT student raters (-0.20 to - 0.47) compared to licensed OT¡¯s (-0.12 to -0.21)

(Hill et al, 2014). This study evaluated 49 community dwelling individuals (mean age of 59.67 (14.14), 72 (58.8) months post stroke to determine if there was a correlation between sensory discrimination (Touch-Test, similar to Semmes Weinstein Monofilaments) and valued activities (functional performance on the COMP).

• Good to excellent correlations were found between individuals who scored high on the COPM (5.9-9.6) and low on the Touch-Test (X²=9.80 (P<0.05);
• No significant relationships were reported between the COPM scores below the median (1.2-5.8) and overall hand sensation ((X²=.523; P=0.97)
• Little to no correlations were reported between touch sensation of the hand and performance of valued activities for those who scored low on the COPM
• No significant relationships were reported for subjects scoring above or below the median for specific hand testing locations and COPM scores
• Subjects with minimal to moderate sensation impairments did not report speech or communication as a valued activity

Subjects with severe impaired sensation did not report exercise as a valued activity.
