Sedentary behavior (SB) is a major contributor to obesity and significant morbidity and mortality in adolescence and adulthood, yet measurement of SB is still evolving. The purpose of this study was to assess the degree of construct validity of the inclinometer function and single-axis and vector magnitude accelerometry metrics of the ActiGraph GT3X+ in objectively measuring SB and physical act...

BACKGROUND As swimming and surfing are prone dominant sports, it would be more sport specific to assess shoulder active range of motion in this position. OBJECTIVES To determine the reliability of the inclinometer and HALO© for assessing shoulder active range of motion in supine and prone and the concurrent validity of the HALO©. Concurrent validity is based on the comparison of the HALO© and...

Range of motion (ROM) measurements of joints are often used in physiotherapy for diagnosis and for the selection of an appropriate intervention. In addition, it makes it feasible to quantify the effect of the intervention on the ROM. In this study we investigate the reproducibility (precision or reliability) of ROM measurements of the spine with the CYBEX Electronic Digital Inclinometer (EDI) 3...

Purpose: The aim of the study was to observe relationship between age, body mass index (BMI), physical activity, and kyphosis angle parameters with respiratory function capacity in community-dwelling older adults determine main predictor.
 Methods: A prospective cross-sectional carried out 70 adults. Physical activity level questioned Activity Scale for Elderly (PASE). Thoracic degrees wer...

Abstract: In this paper, a novel anti-sway control system that uses an inclinometer as a sway sensor is investigated. The inclinometer, when compared with a vision system, is very cheap, durable, and easy to maintain, while providing almost the same performance. A number of observers to estimate the angular velocity of the load and the trolley velocity are presented. A state feedback controller...
