- Abstract
- Introduction: Sotto Hall test used in physical examination to locate a possible visceral dysfunction. The Tests should be as valid and reliable as possible. Reliability is the measure of confidence and proper functioning of a system and it can be both intra and interexaminer.Objective: to examine the intra and interexaminer reliability of Sotto Hall tests to determine visceras in dysfunction.Methodology: a double-blind experimental study. Sotto Hall test was carried out by three osteopaths twice in a sample of 40 volunteers..Results: the kappa index showed good reliability intraexaminer in three osteopaths (k = 1.00, 0.87, 0.89, 0.85, 0.88, 0.93). Good (k = 0.63) and moderate (k = 0.58) interexaminer reliability to determine whether the test is positive or negative, and moderate (k = 0.50) reliability and very low (k = -0.14) reliability to determine which was the viscera in dysfunction.Conclusions: there was intraexaminer reliability in the Sotto Hall test. There was interexaminer reliability to determine whether the test is positive or negative but no interexaminer reliability for determining the viscera in dysfunction.

- Introducció: el test de Sotto Hall s’utilitza en l’exploració física per localitzar una possible disfunció visceral. Els tests han de ser el més vàlids i fiables possible. La fiabilitat és la mesura de confiança del correcte funcionament d’un sistema i pot ser tant intra com interexaminador.Objectiu: es va examinar la fiabilitat intra i interexaminador del test Sotto Hall per determinar la o les vísceres en disfunció.Metodologia: estudi experimental a doble cec. Tres osteòpates van realitzar el test de Sotto Hall dues vegades en una mostra de 40 voluntaris.Resultats: l’índex kappa va mostrar molt bona fiabilitat intraexaminador en els tres osteòpates (k= 1,00, 0,87, 0,89, 0,85, 0,93 0,88). Bona (k=0,63) i moderada (k=0,58) fiabilitat interexaminador per determinar si el test és positiu o negatiu i fiabilitat moderada (k=0,50) i molt dèbil (k= -0,14) per determinar la víscera que està en disfunció.Conclusions: hi va haver fiabilitat intraexaminador en el test Sotto Hall. Es va observar fiabilitat interexaminador per determinar si el test és positiu o negatiu però no va haver-hi fiabilitat interexaminador per determinar la o les vísceres en disfunció.
