The reliability of measurement of cervical ranges of motion (ROM) has rarely been studied. The current study evaluated the interexaminer reliability and concurrent validity of two instruments (rangiometer and goniometer) for measuring cervical ranges of motion. Twenty-four consenting subjects were assigned to random orders of examiners, instruments and planes of motion. Thirteen measurements of cervical motion and neutral positions were evaluated by two examiners using each instrument. Interexaminer reliability coefficients were generally greater than interinstrument coefficients, and both were higher than a combination of interexaminer/interinstrument predictions. The r values for rangiometric objectivity were higher than those of the goniometer in 9 of 10 cervical ranges of motion. The rangiometer is a moderately reliable instrument for measuring cervical ranges of motion.
颈椎活动范围（ROM）测量的可靠性鲜有研究。本研究评估了两种测量颈椎活动范围的仪器（关节角度计和角度测量仪）在不同检查者间的可靠性及同时效度。24名受试者同意参与研究，并被随机安排接受不同检查者、仪器及运动平面的检查。两名检查者使用每种仪器对颈椎运动和中立位进行了13次测量。不同检查者间的可靠性系数通常大于不同仪器间的系数，且两者均高于不同检查者/不同仪器预测值的组合。在10个颈椎活动范围中的9个，关节角度计的客观度r值高于角度测量仪。关节角度计是一种测量颈椎活动范围的中度可靠仪器。
