摘要

背景：舟骨落差（ND）测试是一种通过测量坐姿和站立姿势之间舟骨结节高度变化来评估足质子化的诊断工具。内旋足（PF）被认为与下肢损伤和腰痛（LBP）有关。因此，一个高度可靠的评估方法来准确诊断足部质子化是必不可少的。目的探讨PF合并慢性腰痛（CLBP）患者的内测重测信度、测量标准误差（SEM）、最小可检测差异（SDD）和效度与ND测试的关系。方法对45例CLBP患者（男16例，女29例）进行双下肢足部质子化检测。计算类内相关系数（ICC）、SEM和SDD值，获得信度和测量误差。结果ND检验的重测信度较好，优势肢体的ICC值为0.89，非优势肢体的ICC值为0.82。优势肢95%置信区间（CI）为0.804 ~ 0.941，非优势肢为0.672 ~ 0.901。优势肢的SEM和SDD分别为0.94和2.62，非优势肢的SEM和SDD分别为1.35和3.75。结论本研究结果提示ND试验是一种可靠的足弓测量方法，可用于临床评估患者足部质子化程度。

Intra-rater reliability and validity of navicular drop test for the assessment of medial longitudinal arch in patients having pronated feet with chronic low back pain

Background

The Navicular Drop (ND) test serves as a diagnostic tool for evaluating foot protonation by measuring the variation in the height of the navicular tuberosity between sitting and standing positions. Pronated feet (PF) are considered to be associated with lower limb injuries and low back pain (LBP). Hence, a highly reliable assessment method for accurately diagnosing foot protonation is essential.

Purpose

This study aimed to explore the intra-rater test-retest reliability, Standard Error of Measurement (SEM), Smallest Detectable Difference (SDD) and validity related to the ND test among patients having PF with chronic low back pain (CLBP).

Methods

Foot protonation was measured using the ND test for both lower limbs on a sample of 45 CLBP patients (16 male, 29 female). Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), SEM and SDD values were calculated to obtain reliability and measurement error.

Results

The test-retest reliability of the ND test was found to be good, exhibiting ICC values of 0.89 for the dominant limb and 0.82 for the non-dominant limb. The 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were reported as 0.804 to 0.941 for the dominant limb and 0.672 to 0.901 for the non-dominant limb. The SEM and SDD were 0.94 and 2.62 for the dominant limb, and 1.35 and 3.75 for the non-dominant limb, respectively.

Conclusion

The findings of the study suggested ND test is a reliable method for measuring foot arches, making it applicable in clinical practice to assess patients for foot protonation.
