PURPOSE/BACKGROUND: The decision to return an athlete to sports following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction can be controversial. The purposes of this study are 1) to describe a functional test (Vail Sport Test™) that includes the evaluation of muscle strength, endurance, power, and movement quality in those patients attempting to return to sports following ACL reconstruction and 2) to assess the reliability of the Vail Sport Test™.
A prospective cohort study design. A total of 30 (12 F, 18 M) subjects (18.1±5.3 yrs) volunteered for the study. All subjects were post-operative ACL reconstruction (5.2±1.9 months) and were in the process of returning to sports. Each subject completed the Vail Sport Test™ and was videotaped from the anterior and lateral view. The videotape was then viewed and graded at two different points in time (48 hours apart) by three licensed physical therapists. Intraclass correlations (ICCs) were calculated to determine intra- and inter-rater reliability.
Intra-rater reliability was excellent with a range of .95 to 1.0. Reliability values between graders were .97 (ICC(2),k) and 1.55 (SEM).
The results of this study suggest that the Vail Sport Test™ has excellent reliability when the same graders scored the test using video on repeated occasions. In addition, the test was reliable between different graders.

目的/背景:前交叉韧带重建术后运动员恢复运动的决定可能存在争议。本研究的目的是:1)描述一种功能测试(韦尔运动测试™),该测试包括对那些试图在前交叉韧带重建术后恢复运动的患者的肌肉力量、耐力、功率和运动质量进行评估;2)评估韦尔运动测试™的可靠性。
采用前瞻性队列研究设计。共有30名(12名女性,18名男性)受试者(年龄18.1±5.3岁)自愿参加本研究。所有受试者均为前交叉韧带重建术后(5.2±1.9个月),且正处于恢复运动的过程中。每位受试者完成韦尔运动测试™,并从前视图和侧视图进行录像。然后,由三名有执照的物理治疗师在两个不同时间点(间隔48小时)观看录像并评分。计算组内相关系数(ICC)以确定评分者内和评分者间的可靠性。
评分者内可靠性极佳,范围为0.95至1.0。评分者之间的可靠性值为0.97(ICC(2),k)和1.55(SEM)。
本研究结果表明,当相同评分者多次使用视频对韦尔运动测试™进行评分时,该测试具有极佳的可靠性。此外,该测试在不同评分者之间也具有可靠性。
