使用4名评估者，在特定解剖部位评估了测量20例患者（12例原发性震颤和8例“张力障碍性”震颤）震颤严重程度的临床评定量表的评估者间和评估者内可靠性。量表获得的分数与上肢加速度计的结果进行比较，日常生活的自我问卷调查和估计的震颤引起的损害在写作和绘画标本的活动。结果表明，对于常规评估和治疗试验的目的，临床评定量表可以产生可靠的结果，这是一个更有效的指标震颤引起的残疾比标准的姿势加速度。
A clinical rating scale which measured the severity of tremor in 20 patients (12 with essential tremor and 8 with ''dystonic'' tremor) was assessed at specific anatomical sites for both inter and intra-rater reliability using four raters. The scores obtained with the scale were compared with the results of upper limb accelerometry, an activity of daily living self-questionnaire and estimates of the tremor induced impairment in writing and drawing specimens. The results show that, for the purposes of routine assessment and therapeutic trials, a clinical rating scale can produce reliable results which are a more valid index of tremor induced disability than standard postural accelerometry.
