TLDR
Reliability of the performance component of the WST 4.1 was excellent, whereas ICCs for the safety component indicated only slight to fair agreement, probably because of the low variability in safety scores.About:

Manual Wheelchair Skills Capacity Predicts Quality of Life and Community Integration in Persons With Spinal Cord Injury
Shahla M. Hosseini,Michelle Oyster,Michelle Oyster,R. Lee Kirby,Amanda L. Harrington,Michael L. Boninger,Michael L. Boninger +6 more
TL;DR: For people with SCI who use a manual WC as their primary means of mobility, their ability to perform manual WC skills is associated with higher community participation and life satisfaction and after controlling for covariates, better self-perceived health, higher life satisfaction, and more community participation are predicted.

Wheelchair Skills Training to Improve Confidence With Using a Manual Wheelchair Among Older Adults: A Pilot Study
Brodie M. Sakakibara,William C. Miller,Melanie Souza,Viara Nikolova,Krista L Best,Krista L Best +5 more
TL;DR: Two 1-hour WSTP sessions improve confidence with using a manual wheelchair among older adults who are inexperienced wheelchair users and had greater effects in areas related to maneuvering around the physical environment, knowledge and problem solving, advocacy, and managing emotions.

Manual Wheelchair Skills: Objective Testing Versus Subjective Questionnaire
TL;DR: WST and W ST-Q version 4.1 capacity scores are highly correlated although the WST-Q scores are slightly higher, indicating an overestimation of capacity to perform wheelchair skills as compared with actual capacity.

Intraclass correlations: uses in assessing rater reliability.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present guidelines for choosing among six different forms of the intraclass correlation for reliability studies in which n target are rated by k judges, and the confidence intervals for each of the forms are reviewed.

High agreement but low kappa: I. The problems of two paradoxes.
TL;DR: In a fourfold table showing binary agreement of two observers, the observed proportion of agreement, p0, can be paradoxically altered by the chance-corrected ratio that creates kappa as an index of concordance.

High agreement but low kappa: II. Resolving the paradoxes.
TL;DR: An omnibus index offers a single summary expression for a fourfold table of binary concordance among two observers and the paradoxes of kappa are desirable since they appropriately "penalize" inequalities in ppos and pneg.
