Sažetak	The PROMIS Physical Function item bank is a large, item-response-theory-calibrated collection of self-reported questions about physical functioning and mobility, developed under the United States National Institutes of Health Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System initiative. Rather than being a fixed questionnaire, it is a bank of items all placed on a single underlying continuum, so that any subset of items measures the same construct on the same metric. Rose and colleagues' 2008 evaluation of the preliminary bank demonstrated the expected advantages of this approach, and Cella and colleagues' 2010 report described the calibration of PROMIS's first wave of adult item banks. The items are calibrated with a graded response model and anchored to a T-score metric with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10 in the United States general population. Because every item sits on the common metric, the bank supports both fixed short forms and computerized adaptive testing, letting researchers and clinicians measure physical function precisely with relatively few questions and compare scores across studies and instruments.	Computer-adaptive functioning testing applies the logic of computerized adaptive testing to the measurement of functioning and disability outcomes, such as physical function, mobility, and daily activity. Instead of administering a fixed list of items to everyone, it draws on a precalibrated item response theory item bank and an algorithm that tailors the test to each respondent in real time. After each answer, the algorithm updates its estimate of the person's underlying function level and selects the next item that will be most informative at that estimate, continuing until a target precision is reached or a maximum number of items is administered. The approach was central to the United States PROMIS initiative, whose physical-function item bank Rose and colleagues evaluated in 2008 and whose first wave of adaptive instruments Cella and colleagues described in 2010. The result, framed here specifically for disability and rehabilitation outcomes, is measurement that achieves high precision with far fewer items than a fixed questionnaire, reducing respondent burden for people who may already face fatigue or communication barriers.
