Intrarater and Interrater Reliability of the Flexicurve Index, Flexicurve Angle, and Manual Inclinometer for the Measurement of Thoracic Kyphosis
Objective. This study aimed to describe the interrater and intrarater reliability of the flexicurve index, flexicurve angle, and manual inclinometer in swimmers. A secondary objective was to determine the level of agreement between the inclinometer angle and the flexicurve angle and to provide an equation to approximate one angle from the other. Methods. Thirty swimmers participated. Thoracic k...
متن کاملEvaluation of Thoracic Kyphosis Angle and Respiratory Functions in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
Background. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune demyelinating disease. Muscle weakness, tremors, balance disorders, and gait instability are observed in MS patients. Also, respiratory muscles weakness can lead to decreased respiratory capacity, resulting in pneumonia and acute respiratory failure. Objectives. This study evaluates thoracic kyphosis angle (TKA) and respiratory functi...
متن کاملIs the inclinometer a valid measure of thoracic kyphosis? A cross-sectional study.
BACKGROUND Radiographs are used to monitor thoracic kyphosis in individuals with certain pathologies (e.g. osteoporosis), exposing patients to potentially harmful radiation. Thus, other measures for monitoring the progression of thoracic kyphosis are desirable. The gravity-dependent inclinometer has been shown to be reliable but its validity as a measure of thoracic kyphosis has not been invest...
متن کاملاعتبار و تکرارپذیری Dual Digital Inclinometer در اندازه گیری زاویه کایفوز پشتی در زنان بالای 45 سال
Objective: Accurate measurement of thoracic kyphosis has high value in the evaluation of patients with spinal kyphosis and in assessing the effectiveness of different treatment methods. Recently, Dual Digital Inclinometer (DDI) has introduced as a non-invasive tool that can measure the kyphosis angle. According to available information there is only one published study regarding the validity an...
متن کاملRotating Shaft Tilt Angle Measurement Using an Inclinometer
This paper describes a novel measurement method to accurately measure the rotating shaft tilt angle of rotating machine for alignment or compensation using a dual-axis inclinometer. A model of the rotating shaft tilt angle measurement is established using a dual-axis inclinometer based on the designed mechanical structure, and the calculation equation between the rotating shaft tilt angle and t...
