| Résumé : | Introduction The modified Thomas Test (MTT) is a method of assessing flexibility of the iliopsoas, rectus femoris and tensor fascia Latae. The aim of this study is to identify the intra and inter-rater reliability of the pass/fail scoring for the Modified Thomas Test (MTT) using digital photographs. Methods Six raters varying between 1 and 13years of clinical experience were used to review digital photographs of 20 semi-professional rugby players performing the /MTT. Raters were asked to score each muscle of the MTT either with 0 (fail) or 1 (pass). Digital photographs were allocated in a randomized order. Each rater reviewed each photograph three times at two week intervals. Results Cronbach's alpha (C?) revealed a mean result of high reliability for both iliopsoas (C? = 0.95) and rectus femoris (C? = 1.00) flexibility. TFL flexibility values ranged from 0.64 to 0.95, demonstrating some inconsistencies within some of the 6 raters. Fleiss kappa (F?) revealed a high mean reliability result across the 3 testing sessions for both iliopsoas (F? = 0.78) and rectus femoris (F? = 0.80) flexibility, along with a moderate reliability mean result for TFL (F? = 0.56). Conclusion High intra and inter rater reliability was found for iliopsoas and rectus femoris flexibility with those for TFL found to be moderately reliable. |
