一下子就被退稿了

"Development of a set of functional hierarchical balance short forms for patients with stroke"  was submitted to the Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair.

This study did not reach a high enough priority score for this journal. In addition, new tools ought to show their advantages across the spectrum of severity of impairment and disability for a disease, as well as sensitivity to change.

無實質審查，主編看看就退稿了。可能是 cover letter 或 abstract 寫得不好。唯一較明確的問題是欠缺 responsiveness 驗證。

擦掉眼淚，修改摘要及 cover letter 以突顯價值。預計改投 Physical Therapy or APMR.
另一方面持續 responsiveness/predictive validity 研究，將來說不定，需要合併後再投稿。
