Objective: To synthesize the literature and perform a meta-analysis for both the interrater and intrarater reliability of the FMS™.
Methods: Academic Search Complete, CINAHL, Medline and SportsDiscus databases were systematically searched from inception to March 2015. Studies were included if the primary purpose was to determine the interrater or intrarater reliability of the FMS™, assessed and scored all 7-items using the standard scoring criteria, provided a composite score and employed intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). Studies were excluded if reliability was not the primary aim, participants were injured at data collection, or a modified FMS™ or scoring system was utilized.
Results: Seven papers were included; 6 assessing interrater and 6 assessing intrarater reliability. There was moderate evidence in good interrater reliability with a summary ICC of 0.843 (95% CI = 0.640, 0.936; Q7 = 84.915, p < 0.0001). There was moderate evidence in good intrarater reliability with a summary ICC of 0.869 (95% CI = 0.785, 0.921; Q12 = 60.763, p < 0.0001).
Conclusion: There was moderate evidence for both forms of reliability. The sensitivity assessments revealed this interpretation is stable and not influenced by any one study. Overall, the FMS™ is a reliable tool for clinical practice.

Which Method of the Radiologic Measurements of the Angle of Curvature in Idiopathic Scoliosis is the Most Reliable for an Inexperienced Researcher?
Indian J Orthop
February 2025
Department of Spine Disorders and Pediatric Orthopaedics, University of Medical Sciences, Poznań, Poland.
Aim: The aim of the examination was to determine which of the three measurement methods Cobb (CB), Ferguson (FR), and Centroid (CN) has the best repeatability and reliability when the measurements are made by inexperienced researchers.
Methods: Three researchers (from the student research group) measured the angle of spine curvature on X-rays of the entire spine in standing anteroposterior view in 50 patients with severe idiopathic scoliosis qualified for surgery. Cobb, Ferguson, and Centroid methods were used.

Objectives: To investigate inter- and intra-rater reliability, content and concurrent validity, and practicability of the Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment tool (CPAx) - a measurement instrument for physical function and activity for patients with a critical illness - from multidisciplinary, German-speaking healthcare professionals.
Methods: This was a prospective, longitudinal, clinimetric study. Participants who completed a novel German CPAx e-learning were invited to participate in a voluntary, web-based, piloted, two-round survey.
Comparison of Five Pathological Tumor Regression Grading Systems for Rectal Cancer Following Chemoradiation: Correlation Coefficient and Intra-Rater Reliability.
Asian Pac J Cancer Prev
January 2025
Department of Pathology, Phramongkutklao College of Medicine, Thailand.
Objective: To determine the correlation among five different types of tumor regression grading (TRG) systems. Test-retest reliability analyses were conducted at two time points to assess the internal validity and consistency of these five TRG systems.
Methods: A test-retest study was performed in 34 pathologically confirmed rectal adenocarcinoma specimens.

Purpose: To synthesize evidence regarding psychometric properties of the Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (Mini-BESTest) in assessing postural control.
Method: Six databases were searched until October 15th, 2024. Two authors independently assessed the methodological quality and results of studies using the COSMIN checklist and Terweés criteria.

Pre- and postoperative photos to assess results are widely used in plastic and reconstructive surgery, for instance, in patients with cleft lip and palate (CL/P). Evaluations are often performed by assessment panels by viewing the photos. However, these are prone to be subjective.
