A patient with compelling clinical and electrodiagnostic evidence of a right L5 radiculopathy had focal atrophy of the multifidus at the appropriate level, which served to confirm the radicular nature of the process. The multifidus muscles are innervated by a single root, in contrast to the polysegm
## Abstract Interrater reliability of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) motor examination was assessed by three neurologists experienced in the administration of this scale. Intraclass correlation coefficients indicated goodβtoβexcellent agreement for speeded repeated movements,
## Abstract ## Aims Defects in the pubovisceral portion of the levator ani muscle are seen with MR imaging. This study aims to determine interrater reliability of physical examination in detecting these defects, and to validate findings from physical examination using comparisons with MR images.
A study was performed to assess interrater reliability of the Japanese version of the Short-Memory Questionnaire (SMQ), which is an easily-administered, informant-based scale of cognitive function. The subjects were 18 consecutive patients with Alzheimer's disease who were outpatients of Department
