The Reliability and Concurrent Validity of Digital Inclinometer, Smartphone Applications, and the Cervical Range of Motion Device for Measuring the Cervical Range of Motion
Objectives: Changes in the Range of Motion (ROM) are essential criteria in determining the severity of spinal disorders and could be effective in predicting pain progression. Instruments to measure the ROM are costly and unavailable in most therapy settings. While there is a tendency in therapists to use their smartphones instead, there is no report to measure the suitability of smartphones to ...
متن کاملUse of a Digital Inclinometer to Assess Scapular Upward Rotation: a Reliability and Validity Study
Proposed New Method: A Pro 360 digital inclinometer (Macklanburg Duncan, Oklahoma City, OK) was used for 2-D static measurements of scapular upward rotation during humeral elevation. The instrument was modified by adding two wooden locator rods to its inferior surface. These rods had Y shaped ends, which were placed over the root of the scapular spine and the posterolateral acromion during each...
متن کاملReliability and concurrent validity of the iPhone® Compass application to measure thoracic rotation range of motion (ROM) in healthy participants
Background Several water-based sports (swimming, surfing and stand up paddle boarding) require adequate thoracic mobility (specifically rotation) in order to perform the appropriate activity requirements. The measurement of thoracic spine rotation is problematic for clinicians due to a lack of convenient and reliable measurement techniques. More recently, smartphones have been used to quantify ...
متن کاملThe Reliability and Validity of the Computerized Double Inclinometer in Measuring Lumbar Mobility
STUDY DESIGN Repeated measures reliability/validity study. OBJECTIVES To determine the concurrent validity, test-retest, inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of lumbar flexion and extension measurements using the Tracker M.E. computerized dual inclinometer (CDI) in comparison to the modified-modified Schober (MMS). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND Numerous studies have evaluated the reliability and...
متن کاملThe validity and reliability of an iPhone app for measuring vertical jump performance.
The purpose of this investigation was to analyse the concurrent validity and reliability of an iPhone app (called: My Jump) for measuring vertical jump performance. Twenty recreationally active healthy men (age: 22.1 ± 3.6 years) completed five maximal countermovement jumps, which were evaluated using a force platform (time in the air method) and a specially designed iPhone app. My jump was dev...
