Sonia,
Thanks so much for the thorough reply. I agree that it is important to understand the definitions of validity and reliability. Is the Matheson system computerized like the BTE? Thanks for you assistance!

Thanks Mark,
I have heard of BTE technologies and actually used this at my old clinic for hand therapy rehabilitation. I did not realize that this machine was also used for FCE. I think that is great that it gives you the reliability and validity on the report. Thanks for the information.

As a physical therapist that used to perform functional capacity evaluations (FCE) on injured workers, I was wondering if anyone is aware of the most reliable and valid type of evaluation that is currently being used. Thanks!
