th-cmuir.6653943832-473072018-04-25T07:31:30Z Reliability of diaphragmatic mobility assessment using a real time ultrasound among non-specific low back pain Vikram Mohan Ummi Farhana Hashim Sulaiman Md Dom Patraporn Sitilerpisan Aatit Paungmali © 2017, Ibn Sina Trust. All rights reserved. Background and Objective: Ultrasound measurement of Diaphragmatic Mobility (DM) has been shown to be a reliable measurement tool among healthy subjects. However, the measures of reliability are needed prior to clinical use of this device among Non-Specific Low Back Pain (NS-LBP). Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate the relative and absolute reliability of DM using Real Time Ultrasound (RTUS) among subjects with NS-LBP. Materials and Methods: Nine subjects with NS-LBP (23.33 ± 1.58) years old were recruited. A qualified examiner performed measurement of DM using RTUS by placing transducer on the right subcostal region in semi-fowler’s position with 30 degree elevation of the trunk. The test-retest measures were re-assessed with 24 hour interval between sessions. Results: There was no systematic errors between the test-retest measures (p > 0.05). Intra rater reliability showed ICC value of 0.92, which indicates an excellent reliability. The SEMs of the measurement was 2.56 mm and the MDC of 7.09mm. Conclusion:The RTUS for assessing DM provides an excellent intra-rater reliability which may be used as an assessment technique for clinical evaluation of DM in adults with NS-LBP. The SEMs and MDC reported may also allow for accurate interpretation of DM assessments in NS-LBP. 2018-04-25T07:31:30Z 2018-04-25T07:31:30Z 2017-01-01 Journal 20760299 22234721 2-s2.0-85020430785 10.3329/bjms.v16i3.32871 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=85020430785&origin=inward http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/47307 |
