Ober Test

Based off of the nine articles selected, this SRR is considered a level II study. Each was a randomized control trial (RCTs) and indicates strong and well-designed studies. A systematic review of randomized RCTs are at the top of the hierarchy of evidence, are level one, and are considered the most rigorous (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2015). Candidates were healthy

The studies above have primarily focused on biomechanics at the knee joint, and little attention has been given to the factors which contribute to OA of the hip. One study which did look into the potential risk factors of hip OA found that the external adductor moment (EAM) at the hip was positively correlated with the bone mineral density of the femoral neck in a non-amputee population with hip OA (Hurwitz et al., 1998).

For the present study with the same power of 80% and confidence interval of 95%, 43 patients in each group were needed to be included.

Leg test – The specialist moves the patient’s legs into particular positions, checking for symptoms of

This assessment works by the person taking the test having the Strength Meter dynamometer placed over their shoulders where the handles are placed at the front of the body-around

The investigator was self-trained and calibrated before the study and during the course of study. Data recording was done by a recorder who had been trained and calibrated prior to the main study. To evaluate the intra-examiner reliability, duplicate examinations were conducted at baseline, after three months and at the end of the study. The related kappa values were 0.84, 0.92 and 0.94, respectively.

An alpha level of p<.05 was used for all statistical test. The participants were described by descriptive statistics. The t-test, chi-square, and

In the data analysis of this study, GraphPad Software is used to visualize the data. This tool is available at https://www.graphpad.com/quickcalcs/ttest1.cfm. Data will be input to the tool on the website to make a comparison. To do so, select unpaired

The reliability of the SAQ may require further evidence. The alpha coefficients were calculated and ranged from .60 to .94. Due to the low alpha coefficients it is difficult to determine the reliability of this test. However, alpha coefficients are only used to measure the internal consistency of a test and does not refer to

There were insignificant difference between males and females regarding to modified Alvarado score as a diagnostic method in

Two tests were made: analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Scott-Knott multiple comparison test. ANOVA was made with Microsoft Excel® software. Scott-Knott was conducted with Sisvar® software to compare means (treatments statistically different). Both tests were made with a 95% confidence limit.

The empirical-experimental part of the present study is based on the series of diagnostic studies with the
