Clinical inter‐rater reliability of postural control techniques
Effectiveness of postural control techniques to compensate for oropharyngeal dysphagia have been recommended and used by several clinicians. However, the inter‐rater reliability of these techniques is not well understood. The purpose of this study was to clarify the ambiguity of postural control tec...

description | Effectiveness of postural control techniques to compensate for oropharyngeal dysphagia have been recommended and used by several clinicians. However, the inter‐rater reliability of these techniques is not well understood. The purpose of this study was to clarify the ambiguity of postural control techniques using statistical analyses. A total of 50 clinicians involved in dysphagia treatment participated in this study, where a healthy male served as the simulated patient. The following clinically used postures were measured by two investigators on two separate days: chin down, right/left incline, and right/left rotation. Postural angles were measured twice by two investigators on each day. Data obtained for the angle of each posture were visually displayed. Data from both investigators were assessed for each posture using the Youden plot, which analyzes data variability for systematic errors and accidental errors separately. The correlation coefficient for examining the measurement error between investigators was calculated. The results showed considerable variation between clinicians regarding the postures used, and significant differences were noted each day. The correlation coefficient for a total of four measurements was more often lower on Day 2 than that on Day 1. The details of the instructions provided by clinicians were not fixed, and the same specified posture was not reproduced even when instructions were provided to the same subject. These findings suggest poor inter‐rater reliability because of the variability of selected postures when using statistical analyses. Therefore, standardized postures need to be developed that can be easily measured and reproduced. |
