Brief Summary

To evaluate the intra- and inter-rater reliability of a test of active shoulder proprioception with a laser pointer in swimming athletes and to describe the profile of the proprioception measures characterizing the sample according to the specialty within the sport and the category of the athletes.

Conditions

Athletes

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Joint Position Sense

  the movement reproduction test was applied by a laser pointer and the measurements presented were angular deviation in degrees.

  One hour

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Shoulder Pain

  5 minutes

Study Arms (1)

Proprioception Test (TRMOPL)

OTHER

In the Familiarization stage (1), the TRMOPL was applied by means of a single evaluator with the aim of knowledge and understanding of the test. After five minutes, step (2) test started. In this step, the test was applied twice, by different evaluators, with an interval of five minutes between applications (inter-rater reliability). Ten minutes after the end of the tests, step (3) retest (intra-rater reliability) was started, following the same procedures as in step 2. The order of the evaluators was randomized through a draw in Excel, the order of randomization of the steps (2) and (3) was the same in order not to influence intra-rater reliability.
