The information in this blog expands our email series about the differences between the XRTS FCE and other testing methods.
Subjectivity in your FCE and why it is problematic.
What is a subjective FCE? It's one where the physical therapist (PT) or the client makes decisions on test performance based on their own impressions rather than the gathered data. In an FCE that is relying on subjective impression, and not data comparison, the PT has to be 'convinced' that effort was given. This is what happens in most protocols and the outcome can be easily manipulated.
The XRTS FCE uses science, not subjective impression. The PT does not have to be convinced. They merely measure the effort given and provide the results in a report. In other words, comparison of effort determines whether full effort was given, not subjective impression.
