We greatly appreciate the thorough commentaries to our article by Dr Hayes and Dr Matyas and colleagues. We find it very encouraging to discuss the concept of reliability of measurements in physical therapy, based on their valuable comments.

Measurements in physical therapy may serve two types of purposes. The first type refers to research, aiming at the assessment of differences between groups of patients. The second type refers to clinical practice, in which measurements are used for clinical decision making on an individual patient. We agree with Matyas et al that comparing different measurement techniques or contrasting reliability data from different studies can be assigned to the second type. Correlation coefficients, such as intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), are suitable for the first purpose, but are not appropriate for the second purpose....
