A modified inclinometer was designed for measuring total ankle range of motion (ROM) in the standing position for a large future study. The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the intra-examiner reliability of this new device in order to see if the examiner would be able to produce equally reliable measurements with this instrument as with a routinely used goniometer. Nineteen young healthy individuals took part in the pilot. The same examiner took the ROM measurements using both devices twice on the same day and one further time 2 or 3 days later. Test-retest reliability was measured using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The ICC values were 0.86 (95% CI=[0.67; 0.94]) and 0.83 (95% CI=[0.61; 0.93]) for the measurements taken with the goniometer on the same day and for those on two different days. The corresponding values for the modified inclinometer were 0.88 (95% CI=[0.72;0.95]) and 0.81 (95% CI=[0.57; 0.92]). Both instruments were found to have very good test-retest reliability.
为了开展一项大规模的后续研究，设计了一种改良式倾角仪，用于测量站立位时的全踝关节活动范围（ROM）。这项初步研究的目的是评估这种新设备在检查者内部的可靠性，以确定检查者使用该仪器能否获得与常规使用的测角仪同样可靠的测量结果。19名年轻健康个体参与了这项初步研究。同一名检查者在同一天使用这两种设备对ROM进行了两次测量，并在2或3天后又进行了一次测量。使用组内相关系数（ICC）来测量重测信度。使用测角仪在同一天测量以及在两天不同时间测量的ICC值分别为0.86（95%CI=[0.67; 0.94]）和0.83（95%CI=[0.61; 0.93]）。改良式倾角仪的相应值分别为0.88（95%CI=[0.72;0.95]）和0.81（95%CI=[0.57; 0.92]）。结果发现这两种仪器都具有非常好的重测信度。
