Abstract

Background: The inter-rater reliability of the craniocervical flexion test (CCFT) has not been established.

Objective: To investigate the intra-rater and inter-rater reliabilities of the CCFT in asymptomatic subjects.

Methods: Sixty asymptomatic subjects were randomly selected for the study. The CCFT was measured on each subject by two testers for inter-rater reliability and by one of the testers after a gap of seven days for the intra-rater reliability. Before testing, the participants were trained for the movement and compensations were corrected.

Results: The CCFT has high inter-rater reliability (intra-class correlation coefficient $=$ 0.907, standard error of mean $=$ 0.735) and high intra-rater reliability (intra-class correlation coefficient $=$ 0.986, standard error of mean $=$ 0.287). A Bland & Altman limits of agreement analysis has confirmed the high inter- and intra-rater reliabilities of the test.

Conclusion: The CCFT has high inter-rater and intra-rater reliabilities in asymptomatic subjects.

确定无症状个体颅颈屈曲试验的可靠性。

背景:颅颈屈曲试验(CCFT)的内部可靠性尚未建立。目的:探讨CCFT在无症状人群中的内部信度和内部信度。方法:随机选取60例无症状者进行研究。CCFT在每个受试者上由两名测试者进行评估间信度测试，并在间隔7天后由一名测试者进行评估内信度测试。在测试前，对参与者进行运动训练和补偿纠正。结果:CCFT具有较高的等级间信度(类内相关系数= 0.907，平均标准误差= 0.735)和较高的等级内信度(类内相关系数= 0.986，平均标准误差= 0.287)。Bland & Altman的协议分析极限证实了该测试的高内部和内部信度。结论:CCFT在无症状受试者中具有较高的信度和信度。
