Summary

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.

Conditions

• The Study Focuses to Find the Intrarater Reliability, Test-retest Reliability and Validity of 10 Meters Walk Test Among Middle School Going Children
