    Area of Science:

    • Statistics in Physical Therapy Research
    • Biostatistics Software Evaluation

    Background:

    • Physical therapy research often requires statistical analysis tools.
    • Budget constraints can limit access to advanced software.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate STATPAK as a statistical software option for physical therapy research.
    • To identify the strengths and limitations of STATPAK for researchers with modest resources.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of STATPAK's features and functionalities.
    • Assessment of its statistical routines relevant to physical therapy.
    • Evaluation of user interface and documentation.

    Main Results:

    • STATPAK provides frequently required statistical routines suitable for physical therapy.
    • Limitations include computational accuracy, data-entry, file-size restrictions, and cryptic documentation.
    • Potential for advanced routines like Fourier-transformed nonlinear correlations exists.

    Conclusions:

    • STATPAK is a cost-effective option for physical therapy researchers with modest needs and budgets.
    • Improvements in documentation, user tutorials, and advanced statistical routines (e.g., general linear models) are recommended for future versions.
