|
Mean |
The sum of all the values is then divided by the number of values |
Research |
|
|
Median |
The median is the number or numbers in the middle. Order them from least to greatest and figure out the middle number. |
Research |
|
|
Mode |
The mode is the number that occurs the most. |
Research |
|
|
Quartiles |
Quartiles divide the data into 4 equal parts. Q1 is 25% Q2 is 50% Q3 is 75% Q4 is 100% |
Reaearch |
|
|
Range |
The difference between the maximum and minimum values |
Research |
|
|
Evidence Based PT |
They identify a problem, formulate a focused clinical question, due research, integrate the findings in clinical practice and then assess the outcomes |
Research |
|
|
Systematic review |
A comprehensive review of the medical literature that uses explicit methods to systematically search, identify, appraise and summarize all literature on a specific issue |
Research |
|
|
Meta-analysis |
Systematic review that uses a statistical technique to derive an estimate of effect size by combining results of several randomized controlled trials to determine overall effectiveness. This strategy can minimize the problem of small sample size. |
Research |
|
|
Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) |
A form of experimental research used to asses the relative effect of a specific intervention compared to a control condition. The control group receives either no treatment or a standard default treatment. Ideally the groups will be identical except for the intervention they have been randomized to receive. |
Research |
|
|
Cohort study |
A type of longitudinal, observational study in which individuals with a risk factor or exposure are followed over time to compare the occurrence of a disease in the exposed group to that of the group of unexposed individuals. |
Research |
|
|
Case control study |
A type of retrospective observational study in which individuals who already have a particular disease are matched with a comparison group of individuals without the disease. |
Reaearch |
|
|
Cross-sectional study |
A type of observational study where the data or observations are made at only one point in time in all subjects are tested at relatively the same time. A cross-sectional study aims to describe relationships between a disease or condition and factors of interest that exist in a specified population at a given time. |
Research |
|
|
Case report or case series |
A case report is an in-depth description of an individuals condition or response to treatment. Case series consist of a question of observations of similar cases. Case reports may be used to generate theories and hypothesis for a future research. |
Research |
|
|
Descriptive research |
Recording, analyzing and interpreting conditions that exist for the purpose of classification and understanding a clinical phenomenon. |
Research |
|
|
Experimental Research |
Comparing two or more conditions for the purpose of determining cause-and-effect relationships between independent and dependent variables. |
Research |
|
|
Exploratory research |
Examines the dimensions of a phenomenon interest and its relationship to over factors. |
Research |
|
|
Intrarater Reliability |
Consistency of a measurement being made by the same person |
Research |
|
|
Interrater reliability |
Consistency of measurements made by more than one person |
Research |
|
|
Validity |
Degree of which something is useful or meaningful. |
Research |
|
|
Nominal |
Known as the classification scale because the values are mutually exclusive so, that each person can be assigned to one subject. Example blood type, breath sound |
Scale of measurement - Research |
|
|
Ordinal |
Also known as the ranking scale. Examples are manual muscle testing, levels of assistance and pain. |
Research |
|
|
Interval |
Measurement scale where the intervals between adjacent values are equal but, there is no true zero value. Examples include temperatures such as pool and body. |
Research |
|
|
Ratio |
Measurement scale where the intervals between the adjacent values are equal and there is a true zero point. Examples include walking and motion |
