Table 1: Within-session and Across-session ICCs as Measured via GEKO, and Inter-grader ICCs as Measured via GEKO and Manual Grading.

Data are presented as mean +/− 95% confidence intervals. A * indicates a significant difference between manual and GEKO grading (p<0.05). Graders 2 and 4 were unavailable for manual grading due to a change of employment; Grader 5 was added to assure a minimum of three graders for this follow-up experiment.
