Study design
Researchers assessed the wheelchair triceps (WcT) test in 20 people with spinal cord injury using their daily-use wheelchairs. Each participant completed four assessments: two face-to-face sessions and two synchronous remote sessions. The protocol used standardised conditions and pre-test guidance covering diet, hydration and physical activity.
Assessment formats
Face-to-face testing occurred in a controlled environment with direct supervision. Remote testing used a video call that allowed real-time guidance and verification. The researchers compared results across formats and assessment times using intraclass correlation coefficients, paired t-tests and Bland-Altman analysis, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05.
Reported findings
The study reported excellent test-retest reliability for paired assessments, with ICC values of 0.977 and 0.978. It found no significant differences between formats. Bland-Altman analysis indicated minimal bias, ranging from -0.05 to 0.05, and agreement within acceptable limits. The authors concluded that remote WcT assessment showed strong agreement with face-to-face testing, while the record describes findings from an abstract summary rather than the full paper.
