Inclusion criteria consisted of a document pertaining to manual spinal palpation procedures, measurement of validity or accuracy, primary research study published in a peer reviewed journal in any language, and made available between January 1 , 1966and September 30 , 2002
A strength of our study is the inclusion of multiple statistical procedures for assessment of validity and is consistent with the Guidelines for Reporting Reliability and Agreement Studies (GRRAS) [ 27].
This work provides an in-depth investigation on advantages of a recently developed, new global spatial discretization method over the assumed modes method, and a clear description of the procedure and validity of the new method and its feasibility for arbitrary boundary conditions.
Wednesday's protesters had hoped to march on the headquarters of the electoral authorities, who they accused of dragging their feet over the complicated procedure of checking the validity of the signatures and calling the vote.

The design procedure and validity of the proposed scheme is demonstrated via numerical simulation of the dithered fuzzy control of a chaotic system.
Furthermore, it presents the refining procedures and initial evidence of validity based on the instrument's internal structure.
Although orthopedic surgeons may concentrate more on outcomes of surgical procedures, the validity of the NHDR could be increased further by personal feedback and education in using the NHDR.
Several strategies served to enhance reliability in the analysis procedures and generate multiple sources of validity evidence for the mixed insights.
To assure the credibility, transferability and dependability of the research, we adopted a combination of Creswell and Miller's procedures and Maxwell's 'checklist of validity' [ 49].
