Reliability and Validity of the Athletic Shoulder (ASH) Test Performed Using Portable Isometric-Based Strength Training Device
SIMPLE SUMMARY: The Athletic Shoulder (ASH) test was developed to quantify force across the shoulder girdle in athletes for diagnosis and monitoring. Initially, this test was performed using force plates. The question remains whether force plates may be replaced with a more feasible tool for field t...

description | SIMPLE SUMMARY: The Athletic Shoulder (ASH) test was developed to quantify force across the shoulder girdle in athletes for diagnosis and monitoring. Initially, this test was performed using force plates. The question remains whether force plates may be replaced with a more feasible tool for field testing, such as an isometric-based strength training device. Hence, the present study determined whether Active5™ may be an alternative to force plates for ASH test purposes. Consequently, the ASH test was performed on different days by the same rater and different raters using Active5™ and K-Force plates. It was also checked whether the test results obtained using various tools correlated with each other. The study indicated that both devices were reliable tools, and the ASH test results obtained with the use of the two devices were largely correlated with each other. ABSTRACT: The Athletic Shoulder (ASH) test was introduced as a tool for quantifying the ability to produce and transfer force across the shoulder girdle. Whether using the portable isometric-based strength training device Active5™ is a reliable alternative to a gold standard force plate for ASH testing purposes remains unknown; therefore, the present study determined the reliability and validity of Active5™ usage in the ASH test compared to force plates. Fifty-one healthy participants performed the ASH test using Active5™ and K-Force plates in three separate sessions. The maximal force was measured bilaterally in a prone position at three shoulder abduction angles, precisely at 180°, 135°, and 90°. The first rater carried out the first and third sessions, spaced at a one-week interval. A second rater performed the second session. The reliability was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The linear Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) calculation was used to determine the relationship between ASH test results using the two devices. The ICC = 0.77–0.99 result indicated good to excellent reliability for Active5™ usage. A high to a very high correlation between the two devices at 180° and 90° was noted (r = 0.75–0.95). This data supports the isometric-based strength training device Active5™ as a reliable and valid tool for ASH test performance. |
