Test-retest reliability and minimal detectable change for center of pressure measures of postural stability in elderly subjects

  Abstract   Background: Postural instability has been identified as a potential precursor of   falls in elderly subjects. Postural stability in quiet stance is commonly assessed with   center of pressure (COP) measures. The purpose of this study was to determine testretest reliability and minimal detectable change (MDC) for the center of pressure   (COP) measures in the elderly subjects.   Met...

The Test-Retest Reliability and Minimal Detectable Change of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment of the Upper Extremity and 9-Hole Pegboard Test in Individuals With Subacute Stroke

Purpose: The first step to manage motor impairment of upper limb in patients with subacute stroke is having an accurate assessment tool. The Fugl-Meyer assessment of upper extremity and 9-hole pegboard test are used to evaluate motor function and hand dexterity in stroke survivals. The present study aimed to investigate the test-retest reliability and minimal detectable change (MDC) in these tw...

Test-retest reliability and minimal detectable change scores of twelve functional fitness tests in adults with Down syndrome.

AIM The purpose of the study was to explore the test-retest reliability and minimal detectable change of selected functional fitness test items in adults with Down syndrome. METHODS Forty-three adults with Down syndrome (24 men and 19 women) aged 18-50 years completed a battery of tests twice in a two-week period. The battery of tests consisted of two balance items, two flexibility items, fiv...
