Abstract
Abstract
The International Academy of Manual/Musculoskeletal Medicine (IAMMM) has completely revised the protocol for reproducibility studies of diagnostic procedures in Manual/Musculoskeletal Medicine (M/M Medicine). The protocol was and is aimed at the practitioners in the field of M/M Medicine. This IAMMM protocol can be used in a very practical way and makes it feasible to perform reproducibility studies equally well in private practices and clinics for M/M Medicine with two or more physicians and as by educational boards of the societies of M/M Medicine. This IAMMM protocol provides practical solutions for sample size calculations in reproducibility studies using kappa statistics. Step by step, many different statistical aspects of reproducibility studies are explained, resulting in a very structured protocol format of how to perform a reproducibility study using overall agreement and the kappa value as statistical outcome.
