RELIABILITY OF ANKLE-FOOT MORPHOLOGY, MOBILITY, STRENGTH, AND MOTOR PERFORMANCE MEASURES.

摘要: Background Assessment of foot posture, morphology, intersegmental mobility, strength and motor control the ankle-foot complex are commonly used clinically, but measurement properties many assessments unclear. Purpose To determine test-retest inter-rater reliability, standard error measurement, minimal detectable change joint excursion play, strength, complex. Design Reliability study. Methods 24 healthy, recreationally-active young adults without history injury were assessed by two clinicians on occasions, three to ten days apart. Measurement for morphology (foot posture index, total truncated length, width, arch height), (weight-bearing dorsiflexion, rearfoot hallux goniometry, forefoot inclinometry, 1st metatarsal displacement) (handheld dynamometry), rating during intrinsic muscle (IFM) exercises. Clinician order was randomized using a Latin Square. The performed independent examinations did not confer findings duration Test-retest inter-tester reliability agreement intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC2,k) weighted kappa (Kw ). Results ICC as follows: morphology: .80-1.00, excursion: .58-.97, play: -.67-.84, strength: .67-.92, IFM rating: KW -.01-.71. Inter-rater .81-1.00, .32-.97, -1.06-1.00, .53-.90, Kw .02-.56. Conclusion Measures excursion, demonstrated fair excellent reliability. perceived difficulty performance good short-foot, toe-spread-out, exercises poor lesser toe extension. Joint play measures had overall. this study should be considered when choosing methods clinical assessment outcome in practice research. Level evidence 3.
