Background: The consensus on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention involves the suppression of dynamic knee valgus (DKV). The gold standard for evaluating the DKV includes three-dimensional motion analysis systems; however, these are expensive and cannot be used to evaluate all athletes. Markerless motion-capture systems and joint angle calculations using posture estimation have been reported. However, there have been no reports on the reliability and validity of DKV calculations using posture estimation.
Research Question: This study aimed to clarify the reliability and validity of DKV calculation using posture estimation.
Methods: Fifteen participants performed 10 single-leg jump landings from a height of 20 cm, and the knee joint angle was calculated using joint points measured using machine learning (MediaPipe Pose) and motion-capture systems (VICON MX). Two types of angle calculation methods were used: absolute value and change from the initial ground contact (IC). Intra- and inter-rater reliabilities were examined using intraclass correlation coefficients, and concurrent validity was examined using Pearson's correlation coefficients. To examine intra-examiner reliability, we performed single-leg jump landings at intervals of ≥3 days.
Results: The calculation by MediaPipe Pose was significantly higher than that by the 3-D motion analysis systems (p < 0.05, error range 18.83-19.68°), and there was no main effect of knee valgus angle or time on the excursion angle from IC (p > 0.05). No significant concurrent validity was found in the absolute value, which was significantly correlated with the change in IC. Although the inter-rater reliability of the absolute value was low, the change in IC showed good reliability and concurrent validity.
Significance: The results of this research suggest that the DKV calculation by pose estimation using machine learning is practical, with normalization by the angle at IC.

The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate a Food Choices Assessment Score (FCAS) measuring alignment with 2019 Canada's Food Guide (CFG) and Canada's Dietary Guidelines (CDG) using a non-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) data. Cross-sectional data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) (2016 to 2019), including 6,459 participants (≥19 years) and a non-quantitative FFQ (~100 food items) were used. Content and construct validity and assessing reliability were used to evaluate the FCAS, including a comparison of mean FCAS among Canadian subgroups, calculating the FCAS for high quality diet menus, investigating the consistency of the FCAS with the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH), as a healthy diet linked with lower cardiometabolic risks, and estimating Cronbach's alpha for reliability.

Latent transition analysis (LTA) is a useful statistical modelling approach for describe transitions between latent classes over time. LTA may be characterized in terms of prevalence at each time point and through transition probabilities over time. Investigating predictors of these transitions is often of key interest.

Background: No questionnaire is currently available for use in patients with shoulder pain in an Indonesian-speaking population. This study aimed to translate the Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS) into Indonesian and assess its validity and reliability for use in Indonesian-speaking patients with shoulder pain.
Methods: After a forward and backward translation procedure, the validity and reliability of the questionnaire were investigated.
