background differentiating ischemic from nonischemic cardiomyopathy is important both prognostically and therapeutically, although it may be difficult clinically. objectives we aimed to determine the diagnostic power of cardiogoniometry (cgm) in the differentiation of the ischemic from the nonischemic etiology of left bundle branch block (lbbb). patients and methods we studied 37 patients with ...

BACKGROUND Hallux valgus deformity is a common musculoskeletal foot disorder with a prevalence of 3.5% in adolescents to 35.7% in adults aged over 65 years. Radiographic measurements of hallux valgus angles (HVA) are considered to be the most reproducible and accurate assessment of HVA. However, in European countries, many podiatrists do not have direct access to radiographic facilities. Theref...

OBJECTIVE To assess the value of noncontact goniometry with optical coherence tomography (OCT) compared with current clinical parameters in the evaluation of the anterior chamber angle (ACA). DESIGN Prospective observational study of 138 eyes of 109 patients. METHODS The ACA parameters and angle-opening distance (AOD) were measured with slitlamp-adapted OCT goniometry. The iris and scleral ...

This study investigated the reliability and concurrent validity of active shoulder elevation in the scapular plane (scaption) using a digital inclinometer and goniometer. Two investigators used a goniometer and digital inclinometer to measure scaption on 30 asymptomatic participants in a blinded repeated measures design. Good reliability was present with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC...

Background: The shoulder joint’s multiplanar motion creates a challenge in measurement of range (ROM). Goniometry is currently the most common tool for measuring ROM clinic due to its ease use, but subjective nature. Video capture rigs have become popular all facets monitoring, they can be limited large open spaces and user discrepancy. Further, with wireless wearable inertial units (IMUs) has ...
