“…The implementation of a physical performance test into a battery demands that the main outcome measures of such a test are statistically valid [ 6 ] while ensuring high efficiency and low costs. Requiring few materials, the USSPT procedure has already demonstrated good reliability in healthy and symptomatic athletes when performance was computed by averaging the distance of three trials [ 10 , 11 ]. In a clinical context, using the optimal number of trials may help to save time and optimize the testing procedure.…”

“…First, non-negligible MDC 95 % values found in our series may be partly explained by heterogeneity in the sport practices of our athletes, and further studies are required to better understand performance variability according to sport specificity or practice level. Second, only three maximal trials were assessed per limb, based on the usual USSPT procedure [ 7 , 8 , 11 ]. Implementing additional trials may improve reliability and agreement criteria; however, the implementation may be too time-consuming when the USSPT is included in a battery of tests, limiting its use by sport and clinical practitioners for the comprehensive assessment of upper extremity function.…”

“…USSPT provides a pushing distance per side, which is independent of body mass when scaled allometrically [ 8 ]. This pushing distance presents high reliability in healthy [ 11 ] and symptomatic athletes [ 10 ], when the distances of three trials are averaged [ 8 , 11 , 12 ]. Performing three trials per side can nevertheless be time-consuming, especially when USSPT is included in a battery of tests, demanding to explore the reliability of the USSPT pushing distance per side when the distances of less trials are considered.…”

Background The Unilateral Seated Shot-Put Test (USSPT) consists of pushing an overweight ball as far as possible to assess upper extremity power unilaterally and bilateral symmetry. Literature however reports various body positions and upper limb pushing patterns to perform USSPT, demanding to provide additional guideline to achieve overweight ball push. This study therefore aimed at assessing the reliability and agreement of USSPT outcome measures when pushing an overweight ball in a horizontal direction. Methods Twenty-seven healthy male athletes performed two sessions, one week apart, of three unilateral pushes per upper limb using a 3-kg medicine ball, for which the distances were measured. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), standard error of measurement (SEM), minimum detectable change at a 95 % confidence level (MDC95 %) and coefficient of variation (CV) were assessed for the pushing distances based on one, two or three trials per side to produce two outcome measures: the pushing distance per limb and USSPT Limb Symmetry Index (LSI) when dividing pushing distance of the dominant side by that of the non-dominant side. Results The most reliable pushing distance per limb was obtained when averaging three pushing distances, normalized by body mass with the exponent 0.35. The mean USSPT LSI was 1.09 ± 0.10 for the first session and 1.08 ± 0.10 for the second session, highlighting good reliability and agreement (ICC = 0.82; SEM = 0.045; MDC95 % = 0.124; CV = 5.02 %). Conclusions When the overweight ball is pushed in a horizontal direction, averaging the distances of three trials for both the dominant and non-dominant limbs is advised to provide the most reliable USSPT distance per limb and USSPT LSI.

“…A confiabilidade teve um perfil mais heterogêneo de análise. A reprodutibilidade intra-avaliador foi investigada por 10 estudos 4,13,16,20,21,24,31,32,36,38 , a repetibilidade por 10 4,15,17,19,20,22,26,29,32,35 e a reprodutibilidade inter-avaliador por sete 13,16,21,24,[37][38][39] .

RESUMO A articulação do ombro possui a maior amplitude de movimento e está mais suscetível a disfunções. Avaliações dinâmicas e quantitativas dessa região fornecem melhores informações para a clínica, mas a escolha do método a ser utilizado depende de suas propriedades de medição. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar os métodos existentes de avaliação dinâmica quantitativa do complexo ombro e escápula em um contexto clínico para a população em geral, identificando as propriedades de medição e os desfechos avaliados para cada método. A revisão de escopo incluiu estudos in vivo, com amostras sem uma condição clínica específica e envolvendo métodos aplicáveis em um contexto clínico. Foram identificados: desfecho avaliado, método de medição e suas propriedades de medição. Foram selecionados 29 estudos que investigaram 12 métodos de medição, sendo avaliadas sua validade e confiabilidade para 17 desfechos diferentes. A posição do ombro e da escápula e os desfechos derivados foram abordados pelo maior número de estudos (n=21), sendo seus principais métodos de avaliação as unidades de medição inercial (n=5) e unidades de medição magnética inercial (n=6). Os desfechos que apresentaram métodos válidos e confiáveis foram: amplitude articular de ombro; amplitude de movimento da escápula e do ombro; atividade muscular; centro articular do ombro; comprimento do úmero; curva torque-tempo; desempenho funcional; discinesia escapular; força de rotadores externos do ombro; funcionalidade e amplitude articular; movimento escapular inicial; posição da escápula e do ombro; e velocidade angular do ombro.
