Abstract

BioRescue ($RMIng{\acute{e}}nierie$, Marseille, France) is able to assess dynamic and static balance when a test subject stands or sits over the platform. Although previous studies have examined the reliability of other balance measurement methods, little research has been conducted on the reliability of equipment such as BioRescue. This study examined the intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of BioRescue during balance assessment. Thirty-four healthy adults participated as subjects and two physical therapists participated as examiners to determine intra- and inter-rater reliability. BioRescue was used to conduct measurements during footprint (area and pressure), Romberg, and limit of stability tests. The footprint area and limit of stability tests yielded intra- and inter-rater reliability ICC values above 0.60 in all directions. However, the footprint pressure and Romberg tests yielded values below 0.60 in all directions. BioRescue showed good inter-rater and intra-rater reliability in measurements during footprint area and limit of stability tests. However, because the values of limits of stability show the difference between experienced and unskilled, skill is required for the accuracy of the equipment.

BioRescue($RMIng{\acute{e}}nierie$, Marseille, France)는 대상자가 일어서거나 앉을 때 동적과 정적인 균형을 평가하기 위해 사용하는 장비이다. 이전부터 다양하게 사용되고 있지만 이 장비에 대한 명확한 신뢰도에 대한 연구는 아직 부족한 상태이다. 본 논문은 균형 능력 측정을 위한 BioRescue의 측정자내와 측정자간 신뢰도를 측정했다. 이 연구의 대상자는 34명의 건강한 대상자들과 2명의 물리치료사 평가자들로 구성되었다. BioRescue는 발지표(면적과 압력), 롬버그 검사, 안정성 검사로 구성되어 있다. 발지표의 면적과 안정성 검사는 모든 방향에서 ICC값이 0.60 이상으로 나왔다. 하지만 발지표의 압력과 롬버그 검사는 모든 방향에서 ICC값이 0.60 이하로 나왔다. BioRescue는 균형검사 시 발지표의 면적과 안정성 검사에서 높은 신뢰도를 나타냈다. 하지만, 발지표의 압력과 롬버그 검사의 수치에서 숙련자와 비숙련자의 차이를 보이기 때문에 장비의 정확성을 위해 숙련이 필요하다.
