The expert musculoskeletal physiotherapists assessed active range of motion (AROM), abnormality of segmental motion observed during AROM (AbnROM), passive physiological intervertebral motion (PPIVMs) and passive accessory intervertebral motion (PAIVMs), nested within a comprehensive physical examination.
AROM, AbnROM, and PAIVMs ratings were collapsed to a 3 point ordinal scale, with 0 indicating hypomobility, 1 indicating normal motion, and 2 indicating hypermobility.
Two assessments, AROM and PAIVMs (both 75%) returned higher values for sensitivity than specificity.
