“…The LELT may be used to augment the findings of more traditional segmental mobility assessment. As segmental mobility tests seem to possess inadequate reliability 46 and because the provocation of pain during these tests does not infer hypomobility or hypermobility, 3 a positive LELT may assist in detecting the presence of painful segmental hypermobility. Further investigation into the utility of the LELT in that capacity seems warranted.…”

“…30 QAREL was developed as a specific quality-appraisal tool for studies of diagnostic reliability. 30 Using the standard of van Trijffel et al, 31 studies were considered to be of high quality if they received scores of "yes" on at least 50% of the items. Two researchers rated all studies independently.…”

Context: Isokinetic assessment of shoulder internal-(IR) and external-rotator (ER) strength is commonly used with many different postures (sitting, standing, or supine) and shoulder positions (frontal or scapular plane with 45° or 90° of ab duction). Objective: To conduct a systematic review to determine the influence of position on the intersession reliability of the assessment of IR and ER isokinetic strength, to identify the most reliable position, and to de termine which isokinetic variable appears to be most stable in intersession relia bility. Evidence Acquisi tion: A systematic literature search through MEDLINE and Pascal Biomed data bases was performed in October 2009. Criteria for inclu sion were that studies be written in English or French, describe the isokinetic evaluation methods, and de scribe statistical analysis. Evidence Synthesis: Sixteen studies meeting the inclu sion criteria were included. Variable reliability of ER and IR peak torque (PT) were generally reported for all assessment positions; intraclass correlation coefficients were .44-.98 in the seated position with 45° of shoulder abduction, .09-.77 in the seated position with 90° of shoulder abduction, .86-.99 (coefficient of variation: 7.5-29.8%) in the supine position with 90° of shoulder abduction, .82-.84 in the supine position with 45° of shoulder abduction, and .75-.94 in standing. The ER:IR ratio reliability was low for all posi tions. Conclusions: The seated position with 45° of shoulder abduction in the scapular plane seemed the most reliable for IR and ER strength assessment. The standing position or a shoulder posture with 90° of shoulder abduction or in the frontal plane must be used with caution given the low reliability for peak torque. Good reliability of ER and IR PT was generally reported, but ER:IR ratio reliabil ity was low.

“…Intersegmental cervical spine motion, tested by physical therapists, had slight to moderate interrater reliability (κ = 0.05-0.61). [71][72][73] Interrater examination reliability for passive cervical ROM has also been shown as slight to moderate. 29,71 Active ROM of the cervical spine can be visually estimated by clinicians or measured with external devices.…”

Objective: The purpose of this literature review was to synthesize the existing literature on various definitions, classifications, selection criteria, and outcome measures used in different studies in patients with neck pain. Methods: A literature search of MEDLINE and CINAHL through September 2008 was performed to gather articles on the reliability, validity, and utility of a wide variety of outcome measurements for neck pain. Results: Different types of definitions appear in the literature based on anatomical location, etiology, severity, and duration of symptoms. Classifications according to severity and duration of pain and the establishment of selection criteria seem to play a crucial role in study designs and in clinical settings to ensure homogeneous groups and effective interventions. A series of objective tests and subjective self-report measures are useful in assessing physical abilities, pain, functional ability, psychosocial well-being, general health status, and quality of life in patients with neck pain. Self-administered questionnaires are commonly used in clinical practice and research projects. Conclusions: Because of multidimensionality of chronic neck pain, more than just one index may be needed to gain a complete health profile of the patient with neck pain. The instruments chosen should be reliable, valid, and able to evaluate the effects of treatment.
