Reproducibility of the measurement of knee joint proprioception in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee (original) (raw)
2007, Arthritis & Rheumatism
Objective. To estimate the inter-and intrarater reliability and agreement of instrumented knee joint proprioception measurement in subjects with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and healthy subjects; to assess the effect of variations in the measurement procedure on agreement parameters. Methods. Proprioception was measured by a computer-controlled knee angular motion-detecting device in a movementdetecting task. The angular displacement between the starting position and the position at the instant of movement detection by the subject was recorded. Two raters independently assessed knee joint proprioception. After 14 days the assessment was repeated. Complete data were obtained from 24 subjects with knee OA and 26 healthy subjects.
