Abstract: We would like you to participate in this meeting as our guest speaker and present your recent work and ideas of "Postoperative mediastinitis in cardiovascular surgery postoperation. Analysis of 1038 consecutive surgeries" that were published in Rev Bras Cir Cardiovasc 25.1 [1]. This is one of the high profile and interesting studies we wish to invite to our meeting and we hope it will have benefit to you as well as to our growing scientific community.

We investigated the inter-and intra-rater reliabilities of lower limb loading force measurements in the sitting position. [Subjects] The subjects were 10 hemiplegic stroke patients with an average age of 67.0  10.4. [Method] The examiners were three physical therapists with different years of professional experience. From the reproducibility of the measurement values, we analyzed the inter-and intra-rater reliabilities. [Results] For intra-rater reliability, higher intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC: 0.866-0.994) were shown with longer years of experience, but even for relatively little experience the value was above the 95% confidence limit of 0.7. Furthermore, ICC of inter-rater reliability on the unaffected side was 0.898, and 0.970 on the hemiplegic side, both showing good reproducibility. [Conclusion] We confirmed the reliability of the measurement method of lower limb loading force in the sitting position for hemiplegic stroke patients, and that it is an assessment method which can be used irrespective of the examiner's years of experience.
