Adapted from Merkies et al. [54] with permission of Wiley. Circle one answer for each question. “Independently” (see questions 1-8) means without the help of someone else. Transformation of raw scores to final scores: Rotterdam scale raw score = score summation of all applicable items; Rotterdam scale final score = raw score ×9 / (9 − number of nonapplicable items), leading to a scale score-range of 9 (“unable to fulfill any task/activity”) to 36 (“able to fulfill all tasks/activities”).
