In clinical settings, where arthrometers are mainly used by different clinicians, knowing the inter-rater reliability of the instrument is crucial in order for the results from different examiners to be accurately interpreted and limitations fully understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the inter-rater reliability of the GNRB® knee arthrometer.
Knee anterior laxity in both knees was tested in a group of young, uninjured subjects (N=27, 13 females) by two examiners. Knee anterior laxity was calculated at test forces of 134 N and 250 N with values presented for the unstandardised and standardised conditions (relative to patellar stabilisation force).
The ICCs ranged from 0.220 to 0.424.
The inter-rater reliability of the GNRB® knee arthrometer is low.
在临床环境中,关节测量仪主要由不同的临床医生使用,了解该仪器的评分者间信度对于准确解释不同检查者的结果并充分理解其局限性至关重要。本研究的目的是评估GNRB®膝关节测量仪的评分者间信度。
两名检查者对一组年轻、未受伤的受试者(N = 27,13名女性)的双膝进行膝关节前向松弛度测试。在134 N和250 N的测试力下计算膝关节前向松弛度,并给出未标准化和标准化条件下(相对于髌骨稳定力)的值。
组内相关系数(ICC)范围为0.220至0.424。
GNRB®膝关节测量仪的评分者间信度较低。
