The Test- Retest Reliability and Minimal Detectable Change of the Sensory Organization Test and Head- Shake Sensory Organization Test

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...

Developing Persian version of Sensory Gating Inventory ‎‎(SGI): Validity and Reliability‎

Introduction: Sensory Gating Inventory (SGI) measures behavioral aspects of Sensory Gating (SG). It is a filtering mechanism of brain that prevents irrelevant sensory inputs from entering into higher cortex information processing. It modifies sensitivity to sensory stimuli. Abnormal SG leads to overloading of information into cortex and brain dysfunction. Electrophysiological techniques cannot ...

The Head Shake Sensory Organization Test (HS-SOT): Normative Data and Correlation with Dynamic Visual Acuity Testing

Feasibility and reliability of body composition measurements in adults with severe intellectual and sensory disabilities.

BACKGROUND Anthropometric measurements are widely used to reliably quantify body composition and to estimate risks of overweight in healthy subjects and in patients. However, information about the reliability of anthropometric measurements in subjects with severe intellectual and sensory disabilities is lacking. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility and the test...
