Abstract

Research Objectives: To explore the variation in mean muscle response testing (MRT) accuracy and whether this variation can be attributable to participant characteristics. Methods: A prospective study of diagnostic test accuracy was carried out in a round-robin format. Sixteen practitioners tested each of 7 test patients (TPs) using 20 MRTs broken into 2 blocks of 10 which alternated with 2 blocks of 10 intuitive guessing. Mean MRT accuracies (as overall percent correct) were calculated for each unique pair. Reproducibility and repeatability were assessed using analyses of variance (ANOVA) and scatter and Bland-Altman plots. Results: The mean MRT accuracy (95% CI) was 0.616 (0.578–0.654), which was significantly different from both the mean intuitive guessing accuracy, 0.507 (95% CI 0.484–0.530; p
