The purpose of the present study is to assess the inter- and intra-rater reliability of a postural assessment for detecting scoliosis between 4th year physical therapy (PT) students and PT specialists by using 30 postural indices.
Six examiners, three 4th year PT students and 3 certified PTspecialists, performed the postural indices on 10 asymptomatic subjects.
Inter-rater reliability between 4th year students and PT specialists and intra-rater reliability ranged from poor to almost perfect. Two items that needed rectification were PSIS level and iliac crest.
There was a variable range of values in agreement either within or between examiners for the assessment of scoliosis screening. This shows that the assessment in scoliosis screening should be used with caution by 4th year students.
本研究旨在通过使用30个姿势指标,评估四年级物理治疗(PT)专业学生和PT专家在检测脊柱侧弯时姿势评估的评分者间信度和评分者内信度。
六名检查者,三名四年级PT专业学生和三名认证PT专家,对10名无症状受试者进行姿势指标评估。
四年级学生与PT专家之间的评分者间信度以及评分者内信度范围从较差到几乎完美。需要校正的两个项目是骶骨结节水平和髂嵴。
在评估脊柱侧弯筛查时,检查者内部或之间的一致性值范围各不相同。这表明四年级学生在脊柱侧弯筛查评估中应谨慎使用。
