Zusammenfassung

In der Physiotherapie und Manuellen Therapie werden zunehmend Tests gefordert, die wissenschaftlichen Kriterien genügen. Der Finger-Boden-Abstand und der Schober-Test sind einfach durchzuführende Tests mit guter Reliabilität, anhand derer sich die Ergebnisse dokumentieren lassen und zu mehr Evidence-based Practise beitragen.

Der Schober-Test misst selektiv die Bewegung der lumbalen Wirbelsäule. Genaue Daten für die lumbale Flexion liefert ein Goniometer, das ebenfalls gute Werte für die Reliabilität und die Validität aufweist.

Abstract

In Physiotherapy and Manual therapy tests which meet scientific standards are increasingly required. Finger floor distance and Schober test are easily performed tests with high reliablitiy which can be used to document results an which can therefore contribute to more evidence based practice.

The Schober test selectively measures the movement of the lumbar vertebral column. A goniometer delivers exact lumbar flexion data and also shows high reliability and validity.

Schlüsselwörter

Reliabilität - Validität - Finger-Boden-Abstand - Schober-Test - Sit-and-reach-Test - Inklinometertechnik

Key words

Reliability - validity - finger floor distance - Schober test - sit and reach test - inclinometer technique
