Reliability and Validity of 10 Meters Walk Test Among Children

March 30, 2022 updated by: Asir John Samuel

Timed Motor Function Test Using Video Based Observation and Online Based Observation Among Middle School Going Children: A Reliability and Validity Study

Timed Motor Function Tests (TMFTs) determined the walking abilities of an individual. During Covid-19 pandemic direct observation may not be feasible to record Timed motor function in children. Hence, the reliability and validity of video based observation and online based observation (VBO and OBO) methods to be explored. Middle school going children age group between 8 and 12 years was recruited for the study on the basis of convenience sampling. Sample size selected for each age group was according to sample size criteria of Interclass coefficient analysis. After anthropometrics, 10 meters walk test was recorded using three methods; VBO, OBO and direct observation for three times to estimate intrarater reliability and three days within a week to estimate test-retest reliability. The mean of three readings was used to find the estimated value. Direct observation method was used as a criterion measure method to report concurrent validity. After concurrent validity, Test-retest Reliability and Intrarater Reliability of VBO and OBO was reported. Reliability and validity of VBO and OBO with direct observation was reported by recording 10 meters walk test in children.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
August 12, 2021

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
