To determine within-rater and between-rater reliability of the universal goniometer (UG) for measuring active cervical range of motion (ACROM) in asymptomatic healthy subjects.
Nineteen healthy subjects were tested in an identical seated position. Two raters used UG to measure active cervical movements of flexion, extension, right side flexion, left side flexion, right rotation and left rotation. Each motion was measured twice by each of the two raters and was re-measured all over again after one week. Data analysis was performed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).
The results demonstrated excellent within-session (ICC2,1 = 0.83 to 0.98) and between-session (ICC2,2 = 0.79 to 0.97) intra-rater reliability and excellent inter-rater reliability (ICC2,2 = 0.79 to 0.92).
Considering above results it is concluded that UG is a reliable tool for assessing ACROM in a clinical setting for healthy subjects.
确定通用测角仪(UG)在测量无症状健康受试者主动颈椎活动范围(ACROM)时的评分者内信度和评分者间信度。
19名健康受试者以相同坐姿接受测试。两名评分者使用UG测量颈椎的前屈、后伸、右侧侧屈、左侧侧屈、右旋和左旋的主动活动。两名评分者对每个动作各测量两次,并在一周后再次进行全部测量。使用组内相关系数(ICC)进行数据分析。
结果显示,评分者内信度在同一测量时段内极佳(ICC2,1 = 0.83至0.98),在不同测量时段间也极佳(ICC2,2 = 0.79至0.97),评分者间信度同样极佳(ICC2,2 = 0.79至0.92)。
基于上述结果,得出结论:在临床环境中,UG是评估健康受试者ACROM的可靠工具。
