To determine the reliability of foot caliper
Descriptive study.
Rehabilitation Medicine Outpatient Department, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital.
Fifteen volunteers were recruited from Rehabilitation residents and health care professionals of Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital.
The authors created 3 sets of simple Foot Caliper and measured foot dimension including foot width, foot length and toe depth while subjects stood with equal weight bearing to both feet. The authors set 3 examiners to measure foot dimension by the same method. To determine reliability of 3 sets of foot caliper, one examiner was assigned to measure foot dimension of 30 feet with all calipers. To determine the reliability of examiners, all examiners measured foot dimension of the same 30 feet. All parameters were recorded in millimeters. The data was analyzed and presented as intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) with 95% CI.
There were fifteen volunteers (8 men and 7 women). The average age was 28.6 +/- 4.11 years (range 22-39). Average foot width,length and great toe depth (millimeters) were 9.64 +/- 0.63, 24.17 +/- 1.10 and 1.91 +/- 0.24 respectively. For reliability analysis of 3 sets off foot caliper, the intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) with 95% CI were 0.985 (0.972-0.992), 0.996 (0.992-0.998) and 0.982 (0.968-991) for foot width, length and great toe depth, respectively. For Inter-examiner reliability, intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were 0.941 (0.864-0.969), 0.850 (0.46-0.920) and 0.834 (0.721-0.910) for foot width, length and great toe depth, respectively. These results showed high agreement of data.
These simple foot calipers have high reliability forf oot measurement. These devices are appropriate for clinical use.
确定足部卡尺的可靠性
描述性研究
朱拉隆功国王纪念医院康复医学门诊部
从朱拉隆功国王纪念医院康复医学部的康复住院医师和医护人员中招募了15名志愿者
作者制作了3套简易足部卡尺，在受试者双脚等重站立时测量足部尺寸，包括足宽、足长和趾深。作者安排3名检查者用相同方法测量足部尺寸。为确定3套足部卡尺的可靠性，指定一名检查者用所有卡尺测量30只脚的足部尺寸。为确定检查者的可靠性，所有检查者测量相同的30只脚的足部尺寸。所有参数均以毫米记录。数据经分析后以组内相关系数（ICC）及95%置信区间呈现
有15名志愿者（8名男性和7名女性）。平均年龄为28.6± 4.11岁（范围22 - 39岁）。平均足宽、足长和拇趾深度（毫米）分别为9.64± 0.63、24.17± 1.10和1.91± 0.24。对于3套足部卡尺的可靠性分析，足宽、足长和拇趾深度的组内相关系数（ICC）及95%置信区间分别为0.985（0.972 - 0.992）、0.996（0.992 - 0.998）和 0.982（0.968 - 991） 。对于检查者间的可靠性，足宽、足长和拇趾深度的组内相关系数（ICC）分别为0.941（0.864 - 0.969）、0.850（0.46 - 0.920）和0.834（0.721 - 0.910）。这些结果显示数据具有高度一致性
这些简易足部卡尺在足部测量方面具有高可靠性。这些器械适用于临床使用
