The Reliability of the Senaptec Sensory Station for the Comprehensive Assessment of Sensorimotor Skills in College-Aged Individuals

This study determined the test-retest reliability of 10 sensorimotor skills assessed by the Senaptec Sensory Station in a population of 100 (80 female, age = 21.6 ± 2.8 years) college-aged individuals (18–30 years). Separate intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) with a two-way mixed-effects model, absolute agreement, and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Additionally, the standard error of measurement and minimal detectable change values were determined to examine clinical applicability. Go/no-go, multiple-object tracking, eye-hand coordination, depth perception, and reaction time demonstrated good reliability (ICCs = 0.81–0.88). Target capture and perception span demonstrated moderate reliability (ICCs = 0.51–0.63). Visual clarity, contrast sensitivity, and near-far quickness demonstrated poor reliability (ICCs = 0.28–0.43). Assessments involving decision-making, anticipation, and spatial awareness demonstrated good reliability, while most assessments of visual skills demonstrated poor reliability. Overall, go/no-go, multiple-object tracking, eye-hand coordination, depth perception, and reaction time from the Senaptec Sensory Station are reliable and can be administered clinically in a healthy, college-aged population.
