چکیده
Background Adequate sagittal plane motion of the first metatarsalphalangeal joint (1 MTPJ) is important during normal gait and goniometric measurement is commonly used as a diagnostic and outcome assessment tool for 1 MTPJ pathology. We aimed to determine the intra and interrater reliability of a universal plastic goniometer and a smartphone application when measuring dorsiflexion at the 1 MTPJ.

The reliability of a smartphone goniometer application compared with a traditional goniometer for measuring first metatarsophalangeal joint dorsiflexion
BACKGROUND Adequate sagittal plane motion of the first metatarsalphalangeal joint (1st MTPJ) is important during normal gait and goniometric measurement is commonly used as a diagnostic and outcome assessment tool. We aimed to determine the intra and inter-rater reliability together with the concurrent validity of a universal plastic goniometer (UG) and a smartphone applicationlication (Dr G) f...
متن کاملValidity and test-retest reliability of manual goniometers for measuring passive hip range of motion in femoroacetabular impingement patients.
BACKGROUND The aims of this study were to evaluate the construct validity (known group), concurrent validity (criterion based) and test-retest (intra-rater) reliability of manual goniometers to measure passive hip range of motion (ROM) in femoroacetabular impingement patients and healthy controls. METHODS Passive hip flexion, abduction, adduction, internal and external rotation ROMs were simu...
متن کاملSmartphone and Universal Goniometer for Measurement of Elbow Joint Motions: A Comparative Study
BACKGROUND Universal goniometer (UG) is commonly used as a standard method to evaluate range of motion (ROM) as part of joint motions. It has some restrictions, such as involvement of both hands of the physician, leads to instability of hands and error. Nowadays smartphones usage has been increasing due to its easy application. OBJECTIVES The study was designed to compare the smartphone incli...
متن کاملAssessment of novel digital and smartphone goniometers for measurement of canine stifle joint angles.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate accuracy and reliability of 3 novel goniometers for measurement of canine stifle joint angles and compare the results with those obtained with a universal goniometer (UG). SAMPLE 8 pelvic limbs from 4 canine cadavers. PROCEDURES Each limb was secured to a wooden platform at 3 arbitrarily selected fixed stifle joint angles. Goniometry was performed with 2 smartphone-based a...
متن کاملValidation of a novel smartphone accelerometer-based knee goniometer.
Loss of full knee extension following anterior cruciate ligament surgery has been shown to impair knee function. However, there can be significant difficulties in accurately and reproducibly measuring a fixed flexion of the knee. We studied the interobserver and the intraobserver reliabilities of a novel, smartphone accelerometer-based, knee goniometer and compared it with a long-armed conventi...
