“…Change in the lift test scores (PILE) did not explain the patients' perceived change neither in the adjusted nor the final backwards models. The smallest detectable change for PILE is 6.4 kg (Lygren et al, 2005) and the intervention time span of 3.5 weeks might be too small and the variability to high to capture real change. The reason the duration of 3.5 weeks was chosen was that the patients may forget their function at the start of the programme when time span between test and retest is too long.…”

“…Kilogramme lifted at the last sequence was recorded, and used as outcome. Test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation) was satisfactory in patients with back pain, but variability was large (Lygren et al, 2005, Smeets et al, 2006.…”

“…Standardized tests have been proposed in physical work capability assessments involving a lifting evaluation [2] and in postural stability such as the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) [3]. Despite the inherent problems of observer-based evaluations, direct investigations into the standardization of these evaluations have rarely employed an extensive use of motion sensors [4], [5].…”

This paper proposes a series of methods for representing changes in human motion during injury rehabilitation using Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) inertial sensors. Tracking the changes over a recovery period requires methods for evaluating the similarity of movement in an impaired state against a non-impaired state. We investigate the use of motion analyses such as the centre of mass (COM) tipping distance, the variance of joint velocity eigenvalues and the cumulative state changes of Gaussian mixture models (GMM) for monitoring the symmetry between the left and right sides of body during rehabilitation exercises. The methods are tested on an injured athlete over 4 months of recovery from an ankle operation and validated by comparing the observed improvement to the variation among a group of uninjured subjects. The results indicate that gradual changes are detected in the motion symmetry, thus providing quantitative measures to aid clinical decisions.

“…Materials needed for the test include a plastic receptacle (36 × 26 × 18 cm), a table (height is 71-cm) and weights of 2.25 kg, a polar heart rate monitor and a Borg scale for exertion ranging from 0 to 10. Test-retest reliability: ICC is 0.91 in CLBP patients [15].…”

“…A new series of lifting began after 20 s of rest. The test was terminated when: acceptable maximum effort (AME) was reached; lifting became unsafe; 85% of maximum age related heart rate was reached; ceiling was reached (40.5 kg); speed of lifting was not maintained [15]. Materials needed for the test include a plastic receptacle (36 × 26 × 18 cm), a table (height is 71-cm) and weights of 2.25 kg, a polar heart rate monitor and a Borg scale for exertion ranging from 0 to 10.…”

A comparison of two lifting assessment approaches in patients with chronic low back pain Soer, Remko; Poels, Bas J. J.; Geertzen, Jan H. B.; Reneman, Michiel F.

Abstract The Progressive Isoinertial Lifting Evaluation (PILE) and the lifting test of the WorkWell Systems Functional Capacity Evaluation (WWS) are well known as lifting performance tests. The objective of this study was to study whether the PILE and the WWS can be used interchangeably in patients with Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) and to explore whether psychosocial variables can explain possible differences. Methods: 53 Patients (32 men and 21 women) with CLBP were tested twice in a counter balanced design. Pearson Correlation Coefficient of r > 0.75 and non-significant differences on two-tailed t tests were considered as good comparability. Results: Pearson Correlation Coefficient was 0.75 (p < 0.01). Lifting performance on the WWS was a mean of 6.0 kg higher compared to the PILE (p < 0.01). The difference between the PILE and the WWS was unrelated to psychological variables. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the PILE and the WWS cannot be used interchangeably. Psychosocial variables cannot explain the differences between both tests.

Test-Retest Reliability of the Progressive Isoinertial Lifting Evaluation (PILE)

Abstract: Relative test-retest reliability was high assessed by intra-class correlation, but absolute measurement variability reported as the smallest detectable difference has relevance for the interpretation of clinical test results and should also be considered.
