简要总结
The purpose of this study is to examine the inter/intra rater reliability as well as the validity of the Swing Test in asymptomatic adults . In addition, this study will examine if there are musculoskeletal predictors to the movement quality of the swing test.
The Swing Test is a movement test used by physical therapists to identify movement problems during a simulated running stride
详细描述
Upon arrival the subject will be given a questionnaire that will collect demographic information and determine whether they meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria for the study. If the subjects meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria for the study, they will be given an informed consent form for participation and photography.
Prior to performing the swing test reflective markers will be placed on specific anatomical landmarks of the subject.
An investigator will demonstrate how to perform the Swing test. The subject will then be instructed to step onto a six inch box and asked to swing one leg forwards and backwards mimicking their running stride. After ten practice repetitions, ten repetitions will be recorded by the Vicon Motion Analysis System and 2 video cameras capturing different views. The subject will then step off the box and the reflective markers will be removed.
After the swing test, the subject will undergo a series of common musculoskeletal examination tests. The following examination tests will be performed in a random order.
The first musculoskeletal examination test is hip extension range of motion (ROM) that will be measured using a goniometer. The subject will lie on their stomach and the investigator will take the subjects hip into extension and measure their full motion.

结局指标
主要结局
Swing Test
时间窗: 10-15 minutes
The subject will then be instructed to step onto a six inch box and asked to swing one leg forwards and backwards mimicking their running stride. After ten practice repetitions, ten repetitions will be recorded by the Vicon Motion Analysis System and 2 video cameras capturing different views. Three to five licensed physical therapists of varying levels of experience will be asked to watch the video recordings of the subject performing the swing test and rate their performance using a newly developed scoring system.
次要结局
- Hip extension ROM(5 minutes)
- Navicular drop(5 minutes)
- Sorensen Test(5 minutes)
- Hip strength(5 minutes)
- Thomas Test(5 minutes)
