摘要: The purpose of this study was to examine the intratherapist and intertherapist reliability measurements obtained with a modified version fingertip-to-floor method assessing forward bending. With (MFTF) method, patients stand on stool bend so that can be taken who are able touch floor or reach beyond level floor. Randomly paired physical therapists took repeated MFTF 73 low back pain. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were calculated for reliability. ICC value .98, .95. results suggest bending pain using highly reliable.
