Fig. 4From: Robotic tests for position sense and movement discrimination in the upper limb reveal that they each are highly reproducible but not correlated in healthy individualsa Test-retest reliability comparisons for Discrimination Threshold and Displacement Variability on the MDT task. Dashed line is the unity line. b Bland-Altman plots of Discrimination Threshold and Displacement Variability. Mean of Test 1 and Test 2 plotted on x-axis, difference between Test 1 and Test 2 plotted on the y-axis. Solid horizontal black line reflects the mean difference and dashed lines reflect the mean+/− 1.96 standard deviations of the difference. c Analysis of reducing the number of trials used. Solid black line and circles denote the Spearman’s coefficient for correlations between Discrimination Threshold calculated with 150 trials and parameters calculated using 25, 40, 50, 75, 100, 125 and 150 trials. The same comparison is plotted for Displacement Variability using the grey circles/line. Dashed black line and circles represent the ICC values for Discrimination Threshold calculated for Test 1 and Test 2 using 25, 40, 50, 75, 100, 125 and 150 trials. The same comparison is plotted for Displacement Variability using the grey dashed line and circlesBack to article page
