TL;DR: The aim of this study was to further evaluate the ‘Motor Performance Checklist for 5‐year‐olds’, an instrument which had been piloted with some success and reported via this journal in 1996.
Abstract: Objective: The aim of this study was to further evaluate the ‘Motor Performance Checklist for 5-year-olds’, an instrument which had been piloted with some success and reported via this journal in 1996.
Method: Both validity and reliability in identifying children in most need of paediatric occupational therapy services was assessed. The Motor Performance Checklist was compared against a chosen ‘gold standard’ test, The Bruininks-Oseretsky test of Motor Proficiency, in a group of 141 5-year-old children.
Results: Correlations of 0.72 and 0.85 were found between the tests. The checklist was found to have a sensitivity of 83% and a specificity of 98%. Positive predictive validity was found to be 72% and negative predictive validity 99%. Interrater reliability ranged between 0.79 and 0.99 and intrarater reliability was 0.77.
Conclusions: These results indicate that the Motor Performance Checklist has the potential to assist in identifying children in most need of referral to community occupational therapy services.

TL;DR: The repeatability coefficient approach is extended and an equivalence test that can be used to confirm the agreement between two or more measurement tools or assess interrater and intrarater reliability is proposed.
Abstract: In tandem with the rapid development of medical technology, methods for assessing intrarater and interrater reliability or agreement across tools for continuous measurements have become an increasingly important research topic. Thus far, a number of reliability assessment methods have been proposed. Among them, the limits of agreement and repeatability coefficients were found to be the most useful tools for assessing reliability when measurements are on a continuous scale. However, both are considered as descriptive methods. The concepts of consistency or conformity require an equivalence test without which judgment would be subjective. In this paper we will extend the repeatability coefficient approach and propose an equivalence test that can be used to confirm the agreement between two or more measurement tools or assess interrater and intrarater reliability. Using this approach, a formula to calculate sample size will also be suggested and examples will be provided to illustrate the method.

TL;DR: Findings confirm that RUSI has an interesting potential for physiotherapy clinical practice, especially to assess morphometric changes in skeletal muscles, as well as confirming that it can be reliably measured by physical therapists in healthy subjects.
