Sample size and optimal designs for reliability studies
TLDR
A functional approximation to earlier exact results is shown to have excellent agreement with the exact results and one can use it easily without intensive numerical computation.Abstract:
A method is developed to calculate the required number of subjects k in a reliability study, where reliability is measured using the intraclass correlation rho. The method is based on a functional approximation to earlier exact results. The approximation is shown to have excellent agreement with the exact results and one can use it easily without intensive numerical computation. Optimal design configurations are also discussed; for reliability values of about 40 per cent or higher, use of two or three observations per subject will minimize the total number of observations required.read more

TL;DR: Results suggest that 3D-CT can be used to evaluate the alignment of all TKA components except for the sagittal position of the femur, and showed good intra- and interobserver reliability for the femoral and tibial components in coronal, sagittal and rotational positions.

Reliability, validity, and minimal detectable change of Side Hop Test in male children and adolescents.
TL;DR: The results support the use of the Side Hop Test to evaluate children and adolescents because the measurements showed good intra-rater and very good inter- rater reliability.
