The purpose of this study was to investigate the intratester and intertester reliability of the Cervical Range of Motion instrument (CROM) for measuring cervical flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation. Twenty able-bodied subjects were tested by two testers on two different occasions. Pearson product-moment correlations for intratester reliability ranged from .63 to .90 for tester one and from .62 to .91 for tester two. Intertester reliability was good. Coefficients ranged from .80 to .87 for session one and .74 to .85 for session two. Paired data t-tests showed that there were no significant differences between testers or sessions (p = .01). The results suggest that the CROM has acceptable intratester and intertester reliability. The CROM has many benefits including ease of application and reliability. More research is needed on patients with cervical dysfunction.
本研究的目的是调查用于测量颈椎前屈、后伸、侧屈和旋转的颈椎活动度测量仪（CROM）在测试者内部和测试者之间的可靠性。20名身体健全的受试者在两个不同的时间点接受了两名测试者的测试。测试者一的测试者内部可靠性的Pearson积差相关系数范围为0.63至0.90，测试者二的范围为0.62至0.91。测试者之间的可靠性良好。第一次测试的系数范围为0.80至0.87，第二次测试的系数范围为0.74至0.85。配对数据t检验表明，测试者或测试时间之间没有显著差异（p = 0.01）。结果表明，CROM具有可接受的测试者内部和测试者之间的可靠性。CROM有许多优点，包括易于使用和可靠性。对于颈椎功能障碍患者，还需要更多的研究。
