Clinical measurement of range of motion is a fundamental evaluation procedure with ubiquitous application in physical therapy. Objective measurements of ROM and correct interpretation of the measurement results can have a substantial impact on the development of the scientific basis of therapeutic interventions. The purpose of this article is to review the related literature on the reliability ...

Previous studies of reliability of goniometric measurements have produced varied findings suggesting the need to document further the reliability of measuring range of motion in different patient groups. The purpose of this study was to determine the intratester and intertester reliability of goniometric measurements of seven common upper and lower extremity joint limitations in children with D...

In this paper, a heterogeneous intersection formula, method of fusion coordinates, and an error allocation are introduced in order to improve the target coordinate measurement accuracy theodolite. Additionally, angle theodolite is divided into horizontal vertical components for discussion, obtained by compared analyzed. This paper first introduces formula coplanar intersection, then suggests fu...

We report a simple approach to enhance the out-coupling efficiency in white organic light emitting diodes (WOLEDs). By incorporating MgF₂-columns into the ITO-anode and optimizing of their geometry, an overall efficiency enhancement of up to 38% is achieved. In addition, the structuring of the anode does not lead to a change in the electrical behaviour of the devices. As evidenced by goniometri...

This paper deals with an absolute mobile robot selflocalization algorithm in an indoor environment. Until now, localization methods based on conical omnidirectional vision sensors uniquely used radial segments from vertical environment landmarks projection. The main motivation of this work is to demonstrate that the SYCLOP sensor can be used as a vision sensor rather than a goniometric one. The...
