Analysis of the reliability and validity of the kinetic communicator exercise device
Abstract
The Kinetic Communicator (KINCOM), a microcomputer controlled, hydraulically driven device for the test, measurement, and rehabilitation of human joint function, was tested for the reliability and validity of its operating systems. Testing focused on the three primary functions of the KINCOM: lever arm position, lever arm velocity, and force measuring systems. Measurements of the functions were made via external devices and were compared to measurements simultaneously made by the KINCOM system. Tests were performed for both static and dynamic operation of the unit. Force measurements averaged a difference of 3.2% or less, lever arm speed was within 1.5% of the target speed in all cases, and no difference was found in position measurement. These discrepancies were felt to be due to calibration error and were not considered an indication of inaccuracy in the KINCOM system.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
