Table 5 : Tests and Measures Validity and Reliability.
Test or Measurement | Validity | Reliability | Clinically Significant Difference | |||
Goniometry15 | * | UE: .86 | LE: .58 | UE: 5° | LE: 6° | |
Manual Muscle Test16 | 62.9-72.3% | 89-92% within one grade, inter-tester | NA | |||
QDASH13 | .55 | .91-.96 | NA | |||
* According to Gajdosik and Bohannon, if the measurements are being interpreted the way they are meant to be,
as range of motion present around a joint, then goniometry is a valid measurement.
