Scoped audit evidence
These are source- and component-level audit summaries as of 3 October 2026. Access and comparison scope can differ by report; none certifies every result or the underlying raw data.
Stroke
15 acute patients; selected for commands and selective movement; supine hip 45°, knee 90°, ankle 10° plantarflexion; three trials and next-day repeat. Table 2 tester-1 knee data yield pooled SD 14.70415 lb, not 4.31. With rounded ICC .85 the stated formula gives SEM 5.69489 and MDC 95 15.78544 lb, versus reported 4.60. Report correctly withholds this as a deployable threshold.
Source locator: Subjects and Methods; Table 1; Results Tables 2 and 3
Limitations: Recalculation uses printed rounded individual values and ICC, so it is a reporting-consistency check and not a replacement clinical threshold.
