The purpose of this study was to examine intratester reliability of a test designed to measure tightness in the hamstring muscles. The test measures the angle of knee flexion with a pendulum goniometer after active knee extension with the hip stabilized at 90 degrees flexion. The angle of knee flexion represents hamstring tightness. After an instruction session for the subjects, the hamstring muscle tightness of both extremities of 15 men was measured during test and retest sessions. The reliability coefficients for test and retest measurements were .99 for the left extremity and .99 for the right extremity. High reliability resulted from strict body stabilization methods, a well-defined end point of motion, and accurate instrument placement. If conducted properly, the test should provide therapists with an objective and reliable tool for measuring hamstring muscle tightness.
本研究的目的是检验一项旨在测量腘绳肌紧张度的测试在测试者内部的可靠性。该测试在髋关节稳定于90度屈曲位时主动伸膝后,用摆式测角仪测量膝关节屈曲角度。膝关节屈曲角度代表腘绳肌紧张度。在对受试者进行指导后,对15名男性双侧肢体的腘绳肌紧张度在测试和复测过程中进行了测量。左侧肢体测试和复测测量的可靠性系数为0.99,右侧肢体为0.99。高可靠性源于严格的身体稳定方法、明确的运动终点和准确的仪器放置。如果操作得当,该测试应为治疗师提供一个测量腘绳肌紧张度的客观可靠工具。
