Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Part 1: Range of motion of the external- and internal rotation of the
knee.Outcome in degree of rotational motion.
ndfeel of the passive manual test normal/limited
Part 2: Passive motion of the external- and internal rotation of the knee using
a manual test and its "end-feel". The outcome will be normal or limited.
With the outcome we can calculate the intra- and interobserver reliability and
the Kappa
Part 3: Agreement between quantitative and qualitative . The quantitative
portion will be dichotomised to calculate Cohens'Kappa.
Sensitivity, specificity, AUC and ROC curve will be calculated to asses
diagnostic quality.
See protocol: Chapter statistical analysis
Secondary outcome

Background summary
A limitation of external- and /or internal-rotation of the knee during physical
examination of the musculoskeletal system can be a sign of disturbance of the
kinematic chain wich might cause secondary complaints.
Clinical observation in our daily practice shows restriction of rotation as
probably caused by problems in the adjacent joints .
This might cause complaints of unknown origine.
Hypothesis: the manual rotationtest of the knee in a 90 degree angle is
reliable.
Study objective
Define the normal outcome and spread of the range of motion of the knee-rotation
The outcome of the manual rotationtest of the knee compared with a
rotation-device. (reliability of the test)
Define inter- and intra-tester reliability of the manual test
Part 1: First objective is to criticize if the clinical rotation-test with the
knee in 90 degree flexion (and the hipjoint in 90 degree flexion) is reliable.
In this first part a quantitative measurement is done with support of a
rotational device to objectivate the range of motion in degrees of external-
and internal rotation of the knee. Define the normal outcome and the
distribution of the knee rotation.
Part 2: To study the intra- and interobserver agreement of the clinical test.
To study this item 40 subjects (20 normal and 20 limited knee rotational
movement) will be included.
Part 3: The agreement between quantitative and qualitative measurement as
calculated in part 1 and 2 will be elaborated
