Abstract EN
Objective.
The Tuck Jump Assessment (TJA), a clinical plyometric assessment, identifies 10 jumping and landing technique flaws.
The study objective was to investigate TJA interrater and intrarater reliability with raters of different educational and clinical backgrounds.
Methods.
40 participants were video recorded performing the TJA using published protocol and instructions.
Five raters of varied educational and clinical backgrounds scored the TJA.
Each score of the 10 technique flaws was summed for the total TJA score.
Approximately one month later, 3 raters scored the videos again.
Intraclass correlation coefficients determined interrater (5 and 3 raters for first and second session, resp.) and intrarater (3 raters) reliability.
Results.
Interrater reliability with 5 raters was poor (ICC = 0.47; 95% confidence intervals (CI) 0.33–0.62).
Interrater reliability between 3 raters who completed 2 scoring sessions improved from 0.52 (95% CI 0.35–0.68) for session one to 0.69 (95% CI 0.55–0.81) for session two.
Intrarater reliability was poor to moderate, ranging from 0.44 (95% CI 0.22–0.68) to 0.72 (95% CI 0.55–0.84).
Conclusion.
Published protocol and training of raters were insufficient to allow consistent TJA scoring.
There may be a learned effect with the TJA since interrater reliability improved with repetition.
TJA instructions and training should be modified and enhanced before clinical implementation.
