abstract = {Cardiac rehabilitation is supported by the highest level of scientific evidence. However, less than 25% of those eligible to participate in a cardiac rehabilitation program initiate it; and of these, 50% drop out prematurely. A modified Spanish Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale (CRBS) has been translated, culturally adapted and validated in Colombia, however, the reliability remains to be evaluated. This study aimed to determine the internal consistency and test\textendashretest reliability of the CRBS in a Colombian population. In total, 193 patients (67% men, average age = 65 ± 12 years) completed the scale twice, with an average of eight days between applications. Cronbach’s Alpha and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated. The internal consistency of the Colombian version of the CRBS was acceptable (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.84). The ICC of the CRBS was 0.69 (95% CI 0.61\textendash0.76); 0.78 (95% CI 0.71\textendash0.84) when the CRBS was completed by interview; and 0.47 (95% CI 0.21\textendash0.67) when the CRBS was self-reported. The reliability of the interview version of the CRBS was substantial in the Colombian population; however, the reliability of the self-report version was lower. The use of this scale will allow developing strategies to increase participation and adherence to cardiac rehabilitation programs.},

abstract = {Introduction: The barriers scale for cardiac rehabilitation was designed to evaluate participation barriers and patient adherence to cardiac rehabilitation programs as used in Canadian studies. The cultural adaptation and validation of its contents to the Colombian context was previously evaluated before assessing its reliability.



Objective: To determine the internal consistency and the test-retest reproducibility of the barriers scale for cardiac rehabilitation in a Colombian population.



Methods: The study included 30 patients (66.6% male, mean age = 67.0 ± 11.0 years), who were subjected to a percutaneous revascularisation in the Bucaramanga Los Comuneros University Hospital, Colombia, completed the scale at two times, with an interval of two months between them. The Cronbach-alpha coefficients and the intra-class coefficients (ICC) were calculated.



Results: The internal consistency of the Colombian version of the scale and the barriers scale for cardiac rehabilitation was good (Cronbach-alpha = 0.84). The ICC found was 0.711 (95% CI; 0.423-0.860). The reproducibility by domains was as follows: for the logistic factor (ICC: 0.76; 95% CI; 0.56-0.88); for the comorbidities/functional state (ICC: 0.73; 95% CI; 0.51-0.86); for the health perception factor (ICC: 0.66; 95% CI; 0.38-0.83; and finally for the work/time conflicts factor (ICC: 0.56; 95% CI; 0.29-0.78). The mean score per patient was 2.3 ± 0.7 and 2.0 ± 0.7 in the first and second evaluation, respectively (p = .0071).



Conclusion: The barriers scale for cardiac rehabilitation has an acceptable reliability in the Colombian population evaluated. The identification of barriers using this scale will help to develop strategies to increase the participation and adherence to cardiac rehabilitation programs focused on the real needs of the patients.},

abstract = {Introduction: This research was based on the absence of instruments with appropriate psychometric properties, adapted for Colombia, which evaluate the barriers of access to cardiovascular rehabilitation programs. Objective: To determine the validity of the content of the barriers scale for cardiac rehabilitation in the Colombian population. Methods and materials: A study of diagnostic tests was done. In the first phase, two native speakers of Spanish and one of English were required to translate and retro-translate the original questionnaire. In the second phase, the transcultural adaptation was done and the validity of content was assessed by a panel of four experts with experience in research, sports medicine and cardiac rehabilitation. Results: The instrument was translated and adapted to Colombian Spanish. The panel of experts decided to remove item 18 from the original scale. The content validity index was acceptable for the majority of the items, except for items 10, 15 and 18, where modifications were made in terms of words, phrases or conjugations according to the recommendations of the panel. On the other hand, the IVC in relevance was 0.86 and relevance of 0.88. Conclusion: There is an instrument that evaluates the barriers of access to cardiovascular rehabilitation adapted to the Colombian population programs and with content validity, so the results to be obtained from the application of the scale will be valid. However, it is suggested to continue with the evaluation of the reproducibility of the instrument.},

Objective: To evaluate the test-retest reliability and agreement level of the 8 foot up \& go test in a sample of older adults from Bucaramanga, Colombia.



Materials and methods: An evaluation of diagnostic tests was done in 114 elderly individuals. In the analysis, we assessed the test-retest reliability of the 8 foot up \& go test by the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC 2.1) with their respective confidence intervals at 95% (95% CI). The agreement level was established by the Bland-Altman method.



Results: The test-retest reliability of the 8 foot up \& go test was very good (ICC: 0.98; 95% CI: 0.98- 0.99). The agreement was good in females (mean difference [MD] = 0.04 seconds and limits of agreement [LA]: -1.27; 1.36 seconds), and in elderly institutionalized (MD = 0.04 seconds [LA]: -3.18; 3.27 seconds).



Conclusion: The 8 foot up \& go test has very good reliability and good agreement in Colombian local elderly population.},

Materials and methods: a study was carried out on the assessment of diagnostic tests, as well as the cultural adaptation of the instruments using 6 mothers of children without disabilities (CD) as a reference. At the same time, the validity was assessed by 19 mothers of boys and girls in CD who were assessed through an interview done by two last-year physiotherapy students. Results: The LIFE-H for age 5-13 years old, in order to assess social participation were officially translated, adapted to local language with comprehensible, clear, and easy to answer questions. We obtained an instrument with facial validity and relevant cultural adaptability to the context. We found confusing words or questions in education and nutrition categories in the LIFE-H for 5-13 years old that were modified. Conclusion: We obtained a useful tool to measure social participation from the habits of children with disabilities, which provides a sound basis for improving interventions in rehabilitation. It is suggested to continue evaluating the reliability of this instrument.},

abstract = {Objective: To estimate the inter-rater reliability of the Body Alignment Systematic Observation Form (BASOF) applied to young adults in a private university in Bucaramanga (Colombia).



Methodology: A study of diagnostic tests was performed in a sample of 123 college students, aged 18 to 29, who met the inclusion criteria. Three examiners (an expert in posture, a physiotherapist with experience and a last semester student of physiotherapy) performed the postural examination, analyzing 7 printed photographs: one posterior, two right laterals, two left laterals and two anterior. We studied 63 deficiencies, which were registered in the BASOF.



Results: The inter-rater reliability to determine postural deficiencies ranged from poor to acceptable. The level obtaining the best reliability according to the global Kappa index was the posterior one in which 26.5% of the deficiencies obtained a kappa index greater than 0.40. Scoliosis in S variable had the highest reliability with a kappa value of 1.00, obtained on the item expert vs student on the posterior plane.



Conclusions: The low inter-rater reliability leads to the conclusion that postural examination by direct observation method is not suitable for use in research. However, it allows the practitioner to detect marked postural deficiencies and therefore should not be excluded from the physiotherapy examination. Moreover, the BASOF can become a useful tool in the future academic career in physical therapy to establish methodically the process of observing body alignment.},

abstract = {Objective: To assess the test-retest reliability of a questionnaire to determine nonspecific low back pain (NLBP) and its characteristics in schoolchildren aged 7 to 12 years.



Methodology: An evaluation of diagnostic technologies was done in 84 schoolchildren (9.2 ± 1.6 years), 50 % girls, selected for convenience. The questionnaire was administered by individual interview, twice, with an interval of 2 to 4 days. We calculated the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (CCI 2.1) to quantitative variables and Cohen ´s and Weighted Kappa Index to qualitative variables with their respective confidence intervals at 95 % (CI95 %).



Results: The prevalence was 20.2 % and 17.9 % in the first and second evaluations, respectively. The reliability of the questions that determine the prevalence of NLBP was very good (k = 0.85, 95 % CI 0.69 - 1.00, n = 84); The number of days with NLBP in the last month got fair reliability (CCI = 0.36; 95 % CI -0.009-0.70), while the duration asked by four categories of response was very good (k = 1.00; IC95 % 1.00-1.00), the intensity assessed by Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale was very good (ICC = 0.82, 95 % CI 0.54 - 0.93). In relation to consulting a professional for back pain, Kappa indices ranged from k = 0.46 and k = 1.0. In the second evaluation, the children showed a shorter duration of pain (3.9 days) and lower intensity (2.0).



Discussion: The importance of reliability evaluation of the questionnaire to determine DLI and its characteristics is that there can be a valid measure unless the measure has some degree of reliability. The questionnaire to determine NLBP and their characteristics in schoolchildren aged 7 to 12 years are sufficiently reproducible for use in population studies.},

Methods: An evaluation of diagnostic technologies was done. The IPAQ and GPAQ were administered by two interviewers to a sample of 92 adults (42.4 ± 13.9 years), twice with an interval of time between 3 to 6 days, in the same order of application established randomly in the first test. In the analysis, we assessed the test-retest reliability of the sitting items from the IPAQ and GPAQ and between items reliability by Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (CCI 2.1) and their confidence intervals at 95% (95% CI). The level of agreement was established by the Bland-Altman method.



Results: Test-retest reliability to time sitting items of the IPAQ was good (ICC: 0.77 (95% CI: 0.67-0.84) and very good to GPAQ (ICC: 0.83 95% CI 0.76-0.89). The agreement was poor with a mean difference of -0.04 (limits of agreement: -4.95, 4.9 h/d) using the IPAQ and 0.15 h/d (limits of agreement -4.2, 4.5 h/d) using the GPAQ. Between items, reliability was very good in the first test (CCI: 0.81 95% CI 0.73-0.87) and in the second test (CCI:0.82 95% CI 0.74-0.88); the level of agreement was poor in the first test with a mean difference of -0.54 (limits of agreement: -4.7; 3.6 h/d) and in the second test -0.36 (limits of agreement: -4.9; 4.2 h/d).



Conclusions: The measurement of sedentary behavior or physical hypoactivity through the items of the IPAQ and GPAQ showed good reliability but poor agreement, it is suggested to improve the measurement of this behavior. Additionally, the results showed that the sitting item of the IPAQ and GPAQ provide similar information.},
