What is Reliability of Position Sense Testing Assessed with a Fully Automated System about?

Position sense testing has increased as a tool for augmenting evaluation of joint injury. In the present study, we investigated the inter‐day reliability for four different types of position sense tests using a fully automated system. The tests included (1) passive presentation/active replication, (2) passive presentation/passive replication, (3) semi‐passive presentation/semi‐passive replication (where semi‐passive denotes passive movement during antagonist muscle contraction), and (4) active presentation/active replication. The absolute difference between presented target and replicated position was used as a measure of position sense accuracy. Ten healthy subjects who were blindfolded and seated with the arm in a moveable rig performed the tests on two occasions, separated by 3–4 days. For each type of position sense test, horizontal abduction from a starting position of 0° (relative to the sagittal plane) to target positions of 32° and 64°, and horizontal adduction from a starting position of 80° to 48° and 16° were conducted. A two‐way ANOVA revealed no differences in absolute error between days or between testing procedures. However, intra‐class correlations (ICC), which are
