The purpose of our study was to establish criterion-related validity and repeatability of a shoulder biomechanics testing protocol involving an electromagnetic tracking system (Flock of Birds [FoB]). Eleven subjects completed humeral elevation tasks in the sagittal, scapular, and frontal planes on two occasions. Shoulder kinematics were assessed with a digital inclinometer and the FoB. Intrases...

The physical model test of landslides is important for studying landslide structural damage, and parameter measurement is key in this process. To meet the measurement requirements for deep displacement in landslide physical models, an automatic flexible inclinometer probe with good coupling and large deformation capacity was designed. The flexible inclinometer probe consists of several gravity ...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine the inter- and intra-examiner reliability of measurement methods for femoral anterversion during Craig's test. [Subjects and Methods] The study included 37 healthy participants (20 males and 17 females). Two novice examiners (Department of Physical Therapy students at Silla University) used three different methods to measure the femoral anter...

Dynamic deflection measurement is an important component to the bridge loading experiment or health monitoring. Using high-precision inclinometers to test the dynamic deflection is a good method for High-Speed Railway Bridge deflection measurement in this paper, we develop a kind of precision inclinometer which comprehensives the Capacitive sensor technology and the Servo sensor technology and ...

STUDY DESIGN Test-retest design to evaluate the reliability of the measurement of iliotibial (IT) band flexibility using an inclinometer to measure the hip adduction angle. OBJECTIVES The primary objective was to determine the intrarater reliability of the Ober test and the modified Ober test for the assessment of IT band flexibility using an inclinometer to measure the hip adduction angle. A...

An improved inertial and visual sensors calibration method is proposed in this paper, which is the method of fractional step to calibrate between inertial and visual sensors. The relationship of the rotation between inertial and vision sensors can be obtain by solving the improvement of hand-eye calibration equations. The inclinometer sensor is introduced in the process of calibration and the o...

purpose: to assess parameters that had a capability of influencing the rate of big bubble formation during deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (dalk) in keratoconus. methods: a total of 290 consecutive eyes from 257 patients with keratoconus that underwent dalk using the big-bubble technique were enrolled. the influence of patient age and sex, family history of keratoconus, history of contact l...
