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

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.   methods: ei...

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 of Dynamic Postural Stability Measures in Healthy and Chronic Non-specific Low Back Pain Groups

Objective: The primary aim of the present study was to study the reliability of postural stability measures during whole body dynamic conditions, so they can be used in postural stability evaluations, investigations of injury mechanisms and assessments of treatment efficacy. Materials & Methods: Twelve healthy volunteers and 12 low back pain patients performed repeated trunk bending motions ...

Test-retest reliability of linear and nonlinear measures of postural stability during visual deprivation in healthy subjects

[Purpose] The purpose of this study is to evaluate the reliability of linear and nonlinear measures of the center of pressure (COP) during visual deprivation. [Subjects and Methods] Fifteen young adults participated in this study. COP signals were recorded in two conditions: eyes open and eyes closed. Three trials were performed in each condition with a rest period of approximately 1 min. The i...
