Comparison of an Electrogoniometer with the Fisi Metrix Program in the Assessment of Wrist Deviation
نویسنده
چکیده
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to compare the measurements of an electrogoniometer with those of the Fisi Metrix program to investigate the reliability and validity of Fisi Metrix assessments of wrist ROM. [Methods] The subjects were eighteen healthy young females. Wrist deviation was measured on images by three raters for measurement of wrist ROM using the Fisi Metrix program. [Results] Radial and ulnar deviation of the wrist between the methods showed a significant correlation, r > 0.80, and intra-rater reliability was even higher, ICC(1,1)>0.90. [Conclusion] We consider measurements of ROM by the Fisi Metrix program will be useful in the field of clinical and rehabilitation.

Spectral analysis of continuously measured joint angles using an electrogoniometer was considered as a potentially efficient method for quantifying exposure to physical stress in repetitive manual work. The method was previously demonstrated in the laboratory but has not yet been tested extensively in the field. Spectral analysis was compared against observational analysis, consisting of time-a...
