    Do technological tools improve reliability in ankle dorsiflexion assessment? A study across healthy and injured individuals
    (Elsevier, 2025-11-14) Cánovas Ambit, Germán; Godínez Leal, Jorge; Baño Alcaraz, Aitor; López Nicolás, Manuel; García Vidal, José Antonio; Fisioterapia; Facultades de la UMU::Facultad de Medicina
    Background The objective was to examine the intra- and inter-rater reliability of three instruments for measuring ankle dorsiflexion (ADF) range of motion (ROM) and degree of asymmetry in the Weight-Bearing Lunge Test (WBLT). Additionally, the study evaluated the agreement between these tools in both asymptomatic and symptomatic populations. Methods Sixty-five participants were included, comprising 32 healthy individuals and 33 subjects presenting ankle pathology. Measurements were conducted on two separate occasions by two independent assessors using distinct methods to quantify ADF-ROM and asymmetry during the WBLT. Results Veloflex demonstrated strong intra- and inter-rater reliability, with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) consistently above 0.88, for both ADF-ROM measurement and asymmetry detection across symptomatic and asymptomatic groups. Furthermore, an acceptable agreement was observed between Veloflex and the tape measure in the symptomatic cohort, while agreement between Veloflex and the Dorsiflex app was suboptimal. Conclusion The findings indicate that Veloflex is a reliable tool for assessing ADF-ROM and asymmetry in both healthy and pathological cases. While the tape measure offers a viable alternative to Veloflex in symptomatic assessments, substitution of Veloflex with the Dorsiflex app is not supported due to inconsistent agreement.

    Spanish cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric validation of the graded chronic pain scale revised for fibromyalgia
    (Elsevier, 2025-09-23) Ferrández Gómez, José Édgar; Gacto Sánchez, Mariano Luis; Baño Alcaraz, Aitor; Fisioterapia; Facultades de la UMU::Facultad de Medicina
    Background Chronic widespread pain represents one of the cornerstones in the definition of fibromyalgia. Pain severity can be measured through different instruments, among which the Graded Chronic Pain Scale represents an outstanding framework to assess pain. Its revised version (GCPS-R) has been recently created to adhere to the new paradigmatic definition of chronic pain. Despite the relevance and clinical impact of the GCPS-R, its validation into Spanish has not been performed yet. Objectives To develop a cross-cultural Spanish-language adaptation of the GCPS-R in a sample of patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Besides, we aimed to carry out an initial psychometric analysis of the questionnaire in this population. Methods An observational, prospective, longitudinal study was conducted among a sample of subjects with fibromyalgia. The translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the GCPS-R was performed, and the new version of the instrument was administered to patients with fibromyalgia. Construct validity was assessed by means of factor analysis, whilst internal consistency, convergent validity, and test–retest reliability were also performed. Results The sample analyzed consisted of 224 subjects overall. Factor 1 displayed a Cronbach's alpha of 0.711, whilst Factor 2 had an alpha value of 0.890. The convergent validity analysis performed on the pain-intensity subscale of the instrument yielded statistically significant and strong correlation coefficients (Pearson's r = 0.713; p-value < 0.001). Test–retest reliability yielded weighted Cohen's Kappa scores of 0.537 (p-value < 0.001). Conclusion The GCPS-R-SP represents a simple, easy to administrate, and clinically efficient measure with favorable psychometric properties, covering the level and the impact of chronic pain in subjects with fibromyalgia. ----------------------
