Current Challenge: inter-rater and intra-rater reliability
Data:
- The data is based on a paper by Eliasziw et al., 1994.
- One therapist uses two goniometers (i.e., electro vs. manual) to measure knee joint angles three times.
- Twenty-nine subjects (n=29) were measured three consecutive times
(m=3) on each goniometer (t=2) at one joint position (i.e., full passive
extension)
Challenge:
- Inter-goniometer: do the two goniometers agree?
- Intra-goniometer: do the goniometers measure consistently the knee joint angle across the three repeated measurements?
