Assessing Performance and Using Dynamometry
Contemporary rehabilitation practice demands a rapid and safe return to activity and, or, sport. The decision-making process is often informed by improvements in measures of function, performance and patient-reported outcomes. However, how do we know if these improvements are real and not just measurement errors?

About Dr Claire Minshull PhD, BSc, PGCHE
The founder of Get Back To Sport, Claire is one of the most highly respected and research active rehabilitation and conditioning specialists in the UK. She has worked in the field of sports medicine and health for over 20 years as a Senior Lecturer, Researcher, Consultant and as a Practitioner. She has designed, led and managed major clinical and nonclinical research trials, supervised several PhD students, and has published over 30 research papers in leading peer-reviewed sports medicine journals. She is regularly invited to speak at national and international academic and professional symposia and, serves as expert reviewer for >10 scientific peer-reviewed journals.
Claire’s research and teaching interests include the influences of exercise, training and rehabilitation on dynamic joint stability, neuromuscular and musculoskeletal performance. Her work also focusses on the optimisation of the management of osteoarthritis and developing specialised rehabilitation protocols for enhancing function and performance. Claire’s area of expertise means that she uniquely spans the gap between the physiology of conditioning and physiotherapeutic rehabilitation. She founded her company Get Back To Sport to enable the transference of research findings into enhancing clinical practice, and has developed the teaching portfolio that has an international reach.

Topic: mastering scientific principles
What's included in Masterclass:
An outline of important factors in assessing - understanding the purpose and context of a meaningful assessment
Sense-check on terms: validity, reliability and sensitivity; what these terms mean, simply, and how they feature in tests of function
A clear summary of the various sources of measurement error - what they are, how they may render your test useless & how to minimise them
The how & why measuring a single person’s performance is different from measuring group responses- it matters!
The various methods of assessing strength & their methodologies.
A helpful framework on how to set up a meaningful and reproducible test; from hand-held dynamometry to more functional tests.
