Reliability and concurrent validity of bathroom weighing scale and sphygmomanometer in quantifying magnitude of digital postero-anterior spinal pressure

摘要: PURPOSE: The main objective of this study was to determine the reliability and concurrent validity using Modified Sphygmomanometer (sphyg) body weighing scale magnitude pressure weight change during digital spinal examination. SUBJECTS: One hundred twenty apparently healthy subjects were recruited.METHODS: Weighing used measure investigator while Mercury sphygmomanometer exerted. There test re-test interval 2 weeks. Data analysed by descriptive statistic Pearson product moment correlation. RESULTS: result showed that there significant correlation between (WC) values obtained on day 1 (r=0.91). Also, Pressure in (r=0.94). Similarly, WC Change (PC), (r=-0.49). participant's age, height, BMI contributed significantly as predictors for both BWC PC respectively. CONCLUSION: This concluded are reliable valid applied DPAP.
