Reliability and concurrent validity of bathroom weighing scale and sphygmomanometer in quantifying magnitude of digital postero-anterior spinal pressure
Abstract:PURPOSE:The main objective of this study was to determine the reliability and concurrent validity of using Modified Sphygmomanometer (sphyg) and body weighing scale to determine the magnitude of pressure and body weight change during digital spinal examination. SUBJECTS: One hundred and twenty apparently healthy subjects were recruited. METHODS: Weighing scale was used to measure the body weight of the investigator while Mercury sphygmomanometer was used to measure the pressure exerted. There was test re-test … Show more
