Intra-rater Reliability of clinical tests.

Test Authors INTRA-RATER Reliability Percentage Agreement/Description
Crook lying hip abduction/lateral rotation Luomajoki et al. [33] K = 0.86 O1/O2 = 97.5
Dynamic lunge test (DL) Granström et al. [32] ICC = 0,54–0,82 The trunk moves forwards (TMF) and falls over the front of the leg.
K = 0.47–0.79 for Trunk Lateral Flexion
K = 0.63–0.74 for Knee moving inwards
K = 0.68-0.89 for Pelvic Tilt
K = 0.47–0.90 for Hips moving backwards The shoulders move backwards (SMB) when returning back to the start position.
K = 0.64–0.95 for trunk moving forwards
K = 0.79–0.95 for shoulders moving backwards
Knee lift abdominal test (KLAT) Ohe et al. [38] ICC=0.71–0.79
One leg stance/Trendelenburg Luomajoki et al. [33] K = R:0.67 L: 0.84 O1 = R: 92.5
L: 87.5
O2 = R/L:100
Pelvic tilt Luomajoki et al. [33] K = 0.80 O1/O2 = 95.0
Prone active knee flexion/prone knee bending Luomajoki et al. [33] K(Ext) = 0.70 O1 = (Ext/Rot) 92.5
K(Rot) = 0.78 O2 = (Ext) 92.5—(Rot) 100
Rocking backwards Luomajoki et al. [33] K = 0.72 O1/O2 = 97.5
Rocking forwards Luomajoki et al. [33] K = 0.51 O1 = 95.0
O2 = 100
Sitting knee extension Luomajoki et al. [33] K = 0.95 O1/O2 = 100
Standing back extension test Gondhalekar et al. [31] K = 0.87 96
Standing knee-lift test (SKL) Granström et al. [32] ICC= 0.57–0.75 Hip hitch (HH): Instead of lifting the thigh up in the sagittal plane, the pelvis tilts in the frontal plane.
K = 0.42–0.79 for hip hitch
K = 0.63–0.95 for lateral sway Lateral sway (LS) of the pelvis on the stance leg.
K = 0.79-0.89 for trunk lateral flexion Trunk lateral flexion (TLF) to either side.
K = 0.42–0.84 for knee not lifted straight up Knee is not lifted straight up (KNLSU).
K = 0.76–1.00 for arm lowering One arm is lower (AL) on one side.
K = 0.89–1.00 for back extension The back extends (BE) during the movement.
K = 0.61–1.00 for back flexion The back flexes (BF) during the movement.
Static lunge test (SL) Granström et al. [32] ICC = 0.54-0.87
K = 0.42–0.89 for trunk lateral flexion
K = 0.95–1.00 for arm lowering
K = 0.63–0.74 for knee moving inwards The front knee moves inwards (KMI) and not aligned with the hip and foot.
K = 0.63–0.95 for pelvic tilt The pelvis tilts (PT) to either side and not horizontally aligned.
K = 0.53–0.89 for hips backwards
The hips move backwards (HMB) instead of downwards. The back seems to arch.
Waiter’s bow/trunk flexion Luomajoki et al. [33] K = 0.88 O1 = 97.5
O2 = 100

NB: Tests are described in the table “Inter-examiner reliability”. Legend: O = Observation, R = Right, L = Left, Ext = Extension, Rot = Rotation.
