Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data and assessed quality for each measurement property (COSMIN Risk of Bias checklist); quality of each available measurement property was independently evaluated by any two reviewers who judged the quality as very good, adequate, doubtful or inadequate.

The CPAx demonstrated excellent inter-rater reliability (pooled ICC 0.99, 95% CI 0.98 to 1.00, six studies, high-quality evidence), intra-rater reliability (ICC 0.95, 95% CI 0.82 to 0.97, one study, low-quality evidence) and acceptable standard error of measurement (pooled SEM 1.36, five studies) corresponding to a smallest detectable change of 3.76 (sufficient rating, high-quality evidence).
