The 10-site monofilament (К: 0.44–0.77) outperformed the 4-site test (К: 0.34–0.67) and the dampened tuning fork method (К: 0.41–0.49) showed lower intra-rater reliability compared to both conventional (К: 0.52–0.57) and graduated methods (К: 0.50–0.57). Conclusion: We support the current recommendations of using more than one test to screen and monitor progression of DPN. Four- and 10-site 10 g monofilament testing have similarly acceptable levels of reliability and the neurothesiometer is the most reliable method of assessing vibration perception function. Use of a graduated tuning fork was slightly more reliable than other methods of tuning fork application however all had substantial reliability. Years of clinical experience only marginally affected test reliability overall and due to subjective nature of the tests we suggest that testing should be performed regularly and repetitively.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 12:09:42 AEDT ]]> Diagnostic accuracy of random ECG in primary care for early, asymptomatic cardiac autonomic neuropathy https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34605 Wed 24 Nov 2021 15:51:00 AEDT ]]> Psychometric evaluation of the summary of diabetes self-care activities measure in Ghanaian adults living with type 2 diabetes https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36979 Wed 23 Feb 2022 16:07:36 AEDT ]]> Psychometric testing of the Mandarin version of the 34-item Short-Form Supportive Care Needs Survey in patients with cancer in mainland China https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34619 Wed 23 Feb 2022 16:04:35 AEDT ]]> Development and evaluation of the high-intensity interval training self-efficacy questionnaire https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39145 N = 389, 16.0 ± 0.4 years, 41.10% female) completed the HIIT-SQ, and factorial validity of the measurement model was explored. Phase 3: Adolescents (N = 100, age 12–14 years, 44% female) completed the HIIT-SQ twice (1 week apart) to evaluate test–retest reliability. Confirmatory factor analysis of the final six items (mean = 3.43–6.73, SD = 0.99–25.30) revealed adequate fit, χ2(21) = 21, p = .01, comparative fit index = .99, Tucker–Lewis index = .99, root mean square of approximation = .07, 90% confidence interval [.04, .11]. Factor loading estimates showed that all items were highly related to the factor (estimates range: 0.81–0.90). Intraclass coefficients and typical error values were .99 (95% confidence interval [.99, 1.00]) and .22, respectively.

The only outcome measure that had an ICC of more than 0.7 was the latency to first fixation (affective pain words ICC=0.73, general threat words ICC=0.72). When compared with pain-free controls, people with acute LBP looked more often at affective pain words relative to neutral control words. This may indicate a form of engagement bias for people with acute LBP. Attentional bias was not consistent across outcome measures or word groups.

The methodology is illustrated with an example focusing on cost-effective adaptation of existing RC structures placed in the coastal French cities of Saint-Nazaire and Marseille.]]> Mon 23 Jan 2023 11:48:32 AEDT ]]> Reliability of videoconferencing administration of a communication questionnaire to people with traumatic brain injury and their close others https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33873 Mon 21 Jan 2019 10:43:00 AEDT ]]> Mobility-Focused Physical Outcome Measures Over Telecommunication Technology (Zoom): Intra and Interrater Reliability Trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53268 Mon 20 Nov 2023 12:48:48 AEDT ]]> A systematic review of ‘enablers of collaboration’ among the participants in construction projects https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43025 Mon 12 Sep 2022 10:32:20 AEST ]]> Reliability-based assessment of safety factors for masonry walls in vertical bending https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45810 Mon 07 Nov 2022 11:43:08 AEDT ]]> Influence of workmanship on the compressive strength of structural masonry https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45809 Mon 07 Nov 2022 11:35:59 AEDT ]]> Measures of Maximal Tactile Pressures during a Sustained Grasp Task Using a TactArray Device Have Satisfactory Reliability and Concurrent Validity in People with Stroke https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51413 Mon 04 Sep 2023 14:50:35 AEST ]]> Fragility and climate impact assessment of contemporary housing roof sheeting failure due to extreme wind https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46541 Fri 25 Nov 2022 11:05:22 AEDT ]]> On the cost-efficiency, significance and effectiveness of terrorism risk reduction strategies for buildings https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40420 Fri 22 Jul 2022 14:02:24 AEST ]]> Comparison of a mobile health electronic visual analog scale app with a traditional paper visual analog scale for pain evaluation: cross-sectional observational study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37584 Fri 19 Feb 2021 15:58:52 AEDT ]]> Psychometric properties of smokeless tobacco dependence measures: A COSMIN systematic review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53075 Fri 17 Nov 2023 11:24:38 AEDT ]]> Non-invasive assessment of vibration perception and protective sensation in people with diabetes mellitus: inter and intra-rater reliability https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41807 Fri 12 Aug 2022 12:31:40 AEST ]]> Measures of maximal tactile pressures of a sustained grasp task using a TactArray device have satisfactory reliability and validity in healthy people https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46151 n = 18, mean age: 62.2 ± 9.9 years) performed three repeat trials of sustained maximal grasp over 8 seconds. Both hands were tested in within-day and between-day sessions, with vision and without vision. Measures of maximal tactile pressures and forces were measured for the complete grasp duration (8s) and for the plateau phase (5s). Measures of maximal tactile pressures and forces were reported using the highest value among three repeat trials, the mean of two repeat trials, and the mean of three repeat trials. Reliability was determined using changes in mean, coefficients of variation and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). Pearson correlation coefficients were used to evaluate concurrent validity. Results: Changes in mean were very good, coefficients of variation were good to acceptable and ICCs were very good to good for maximal tactile pressures using the highest value among three repeat trials and the mean of three repeat trials for the complete grasp duration (8s) and for the plateau phase (5s) in the dominant hand with and without vision and in the non-dominant hand without vision for within-day and between-day sessions. Maximal tactile pressures had moderate to large correlations with grip strength. Conclusion: The TactArray device demonstrates satisfactory reliability for maximal tactile pressures during a sustained grasp for within-day and between-day testing sessions in both hands. Validity was satisfactory with grip strength in both hands.]]> Fri 11 Nov 2022 18:58:47 AEDT ]]> Development of a Twenty20 Field-Based Simulation for Cricket Fast Bowlers (FBS-T20) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49185 0.05) with the exception of significantly lower jog values in the FBS-T20 (957–1,279 vs. 2,195 m; p = 0.04-<0.001). The maximal HR was found to be valid, but the mean HR was significantly higher than previously published data (147–151 bpm vs. 133 bpm; p = 0.014–0.003). Distances covered demonstrated high levels of reliability, with increasing reliability found after additional sessions (coefficient of variation [CV]% = 3.8–14.4). The HR (CV% = 4.8–6.3) and session RPE (CV% = 10.8) demonstrated moderate reliability, whereas approach speed, 10-m sprint, and bowling skills test results possessed low levels of reliability. The FBS-T20 is a practically viable testing and training tool that is valid and reliable for distances covered at high speeds. One full familiarization session is recommended for optimal reliability.]]> Fri 05 May 2023 15:44:43 AEST ]]>
