چکیده
INTRODUCTION The rationale for a user-friendly system of flexible electrogoniometers has been previously established and the Strathclyde University data logging system (SUDALS) together with flexible electrogoniometers has been reported to be an accurate and reliable system for measuring the functional outcomes of the knee during various activities of daily living (ADL) [1]. However, prior to releasing the system for a routine clinical use, we decided to estimate the inter-rater reliability of the device by involving focus groups as part of the product development cycle [2] to obtain insight views on the clinical applicability of both the data acquisition systems for use with flexible electrogoniometer in measuring the knee kinematics during various ADL.
