Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

14.1K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Balancing Redox Equations

62.2K
Electrochemistry is the science involved in the interconversion of electrical and chemical reactions. Such reactions are called reduction-oxidation, or redox reactions. These important reactions are defined by changes in oxidation states for one or more reactant elements and include a subset of reactions involving the transfer of electrons between reactant species. Electrochemistry as a field has evolved to yield sufficient insights on the fundamental principles of redox chemistry and multiple...

Systematic Error: Methodological and Sampling Errors

11.0K
In the case of systematic errors, the sources can be identified, and the errors can be subsequently minimized by addressing these sources. According to the source, systematic errors can be divided into sampling, instrumental, methodological, and personal errors.
Sampling errors originate from improper sampling methods or the wrong sample population. These errors can be minimized by refining the sampling strategy. Defective instruments or faulty calibrations are the sources of instrumental...

Fundamental Attribution Error

13.8K
According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

Introduction to z Scores

11.2K
A z score (or standardized value) is measured in units of the standard deviation. It tells you how many standard deviations the value x is above (to the right of) or below (to the left of) the mean, μ. Values of x that are larger than the mean have positive z scores, and values of x that are smaller than the mean have negative z scores. If x equals the mean, then x has a zero z score. It is important to note that the mean of the z scores is zero, and the standard deviation is one.

Summary

The Automated Assessment of Postural Stability (AAPS) system offers automated scoring for the Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) test. While showing promise for concussion assessment, AAPS scores are not yet interchangeable with human BESS scores.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanical Engineering

Background:

  • The Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) is a standard, human-scored clinical test for assessing balance, particularly in suspected concussions.
  • Existing instrumented balance tests often yield abstract results, limiting their clinical applicability.
  • The Automated Assessment of Postural Stability (AAPS) system aims to provide objective, BESS-aligned error scoring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the scoring agreement between the Automated Assessment of Postural Stability (AAPS) and traditional human-based Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) scoring.
  • To evaluate the reliability and potential utility of AAPS as an automated alternative for balance assessment in concussion evaluation.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty-five healthy adults completed a modified Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) test.
  • Each test was scored independently by three human raters and the Automated Assessment of Postural Stability (AAPS) computerized system.
  • Interrater (human-human) and inter-method (AAPS-human) reliability were assessed using Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICC) and Bland-Altman limits of agreement (LOA).

Main Results:

  • Human raters demonstrated good to excellent interrater agreement (ICC > 0.7).
  • Inter-method agreement between AAPS and human raters varied from poor to excellent (ICC values not specified).
  • Bland-Altman analysis indicated wider limits of agreement for AAPS versus the human average compared to human-human agreement, suggesting systematic differences.

Conclusions:

  • The Automated Assessment of Postural Stability (AAPS) provides consistent, automated scoring for the BESS test.
  • While AAPS shows potential for automating balance testing, its scores are not directly interchangeable with human BESS scores due to observed discrepancies.
  • Further research is needed to refine AAPS and establish its clinical interchangeability with traditional human scoring for concussion management.
