The accuracy of joint angle measurement of the hand may be negatively influenced by joint swelling, deformation and other obstacles. We developed an alternative goniometer with clear ergonomic advantages, especially for the measurement of small joints. This new concept of goniometry is described and preliminary results on the reliability of the measurements are presented. The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and the standard error of measurements (SEMs) of the alternative goniometer are greater respectively smaller than a conventional goniometer, indicating a better intratester reliability.
手部关节角度测量的准确性可能会受到关节肿胀、变形及其他障碍的负面影响。我们开发了一种具有明显人体工程学优势的替代式测角仪,尤其适用于小关节的测量。本文描述了这种测角法的新概念,并给出了测量可靠性的初步结果。替代式测角仪的组内相关系数(ICC)和测量标准误差(SEM)分别大于和小于传统测角仪,表明其具有更好的测试者内可靠性。
