Three-dimensional measurements of scapular kinematics: Interrater reliability and validation of a skin marker-based model against an intracortical pin model.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A skin marker-based motion capture model providing measures of scapular rotations was recently developed. The aim of this study was to investigate the concurrent validity and the interrater reliability of the model. Shoulder range of motion (RoM) and activities of daily living (ADL) were tested in healthy volunteers with reflective markers on the scapula and thorax. To investigate the validity, the model was compared to simultaneous data collection from markers on a scapular intracortical pin. The interrater reliability was tested by comparing the skin marker-based protocol performed by two investigators. The mean root mean square error (RMSE) and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC(2,1)) were calculated to determine the validity and the interrater reliability, respectively. Eight subjects were included in the validity test: female/male = 2/6, mean (SD) age 35.0 (3.0) and BMI 23.4 (3.3). The mean RMSE of all scapular rotations ranged 2.3-6.7° during shoulder RoM and 2.4-7.6° during ADL. The highest errors were seen during sagittal and scapular plane flexions, hair combing and eating. The reliability test included twenty subjects: female/male = 8/12, mean (SD) age 31.4 (4.9) and BMI 22.9 (1.7). The ICC(2,1) for measuring protraction ranged 0.07-0.60 during RoM and 0.27-0.69 for ADL, for upward rotation the corresponding ICC(2,1) ranged 0.01-0.64 and 0.38-0.60, and anterior tilt 0.25-0.83 and 0.25-0.62. The validity and interrater reliability of the model are task dependent, and interpretation should be made with caution. The model provides quantitative measurements for objective assessment of scapular movements and can potentially supplement the clinical examination in certain motion tasks.
