BackgroundThe treadmill, lift, and carry (TLC) battery is a composite functional performance test created to measure the effectiveness of a functional restoration (FR) program in a military population.PurposeTo determine the validity, reliability, and minimal clinically important differences (MCIDs) of the individual tests and the composite TLC battery.MethodsWe assessed the validity by mean differences, effect sizes, and standardized response means pre- and post-FR; and by correlations between the TLC battery and other established measures. We assessed reliability by correlating pre- and post-FR scores. We used principal component analysis (PCA) to create a composite measure. We determined MCIDs via distribution methods and receiver operator curve analysis.ResultsThere were significant (p < .001) mean changes and large effect sizes (0.6–0.8) pre- to post-FR. Pre- and posttest Spearman’s correlations ranged from 0.5 to 0.6. Spearman’s correlations between TLC battery scores and other measures were small (± 0.3–0.4) and significant (p < .001). PCA supported use of a single-component composite. MCIDs were treadmill time: 3 minutes; metabolic equivalent of task: 1.5 units; floor-to-waist lift: 15 lbs; waist-to-shoulder lift: 10 lbs; 40-foot carry: 10 lbs; and composite score: 6 units.ConclusionThis secondary data analysis provides preliminary support for the validity and reliability of the TLC battery for use in military populations.
