Popis:	The purpose of this study was to examine the inter-rater reliability of the Comprehensive Body Examination (CBE) subscales. These are psychometrically based subscales developed to measure the dimensions of body posture, respiration, movements, and muscular consistency. Three independent raters examined 25 individuals (23 patients and two students). Seventeen patients had personality disorders, three had been psychotic, and three were chronic pain patients attending an ordinary physiotherapy clinic. One of the students had bronchial asthma; the other was a refugee with muscular pain. The inter-rater reliability was estimated as intra-class correlations (ICC(1.1)). This coefficient was chosen as it is sensitive both to random and systematic variation between raters. The ICC(1.1) for subscales ranged from 0.79 to 0.99 (median 0.94) indicating that properly trained raters can obtain very accurate ratings.
