Abstract

Objective

To determine the reliability of a qualitative assessment of trunk and lower extremity alignment during a single hop for distance in youth athletes.

Design

Repeated measures.

Methods

Twenty-five healthy female youth athletes were recorded performing a single leg hop (SLH). Videos were viewed and scored using a qualitative assessment tool by a physical therapist (PT), Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), and Athletic Trainer (AT), on two separate occasions. Interclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for each item and total score were calculated with a 2-way mixed-effect model with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs).

Results

The tool demonstrated moderate intra-rater reliability for the total score (PT ICC = 0.74, CSCS ICC = 0.60, AT ICC = 0.71). Individual item intra-rater reliability ranged from poor to good for the PT (−0.06-0.80), poor to moderate for the CSCS (0.35–0.70), and poor to good for the AT (0.43–0.83). Total score inter-rater reliability was moderate in round one and poor in round two (ICC = 0.57 and ICC = 0.49, respectively).

Conclusions

Moderate intra-rater reliability and poor to moderate inter-rater reliability amongst a PT, CSCS, and an AT was demonstrated. Future studies should explore the tool's reliability amongst a more homogenous group of raters to better determine its utility.

期刊介绍： Physical Therapy in Sport is an international peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for the publication of research and clinical practice material relevant to the healthcare professions involved in sports and exercise medicine, and rehabilitation. The journal publishes material that is indispensable for day-to-day practice and continuing professional development. Physical Therapy in Sport covers topics dealing with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of injuries, as well as more general areas of sports and exercise medicine and related sports science. The journal publishes original research, case studies, reviews, masterclasses, papers on clinical approaches, and book reviews, as well as occasional reports from conferences. Papers are double-blind peer-reviewed by our international advisory board and other international experts, and submissions from a broad range of disciplines are actively encouraged.
