To determine the validity of wrist range of motion (ROM) measurements by the wearable-controlled ReValidate! wrist-rehabilitation game, which simultaneously acts as a digital goniometer. Furthermore, to establish the reliability of the game by contrasting ROM measurements to those found by medical experts using a universal goniometer.
As the universal goniometer is considered the reference standard, inter-rater reliability between surgeons was first determined. Internal validity of the game ROM measurements was determined in a test-retest setting with healthy volunteers. The reliability of the game was tested in 34 patients with a restricted range of motion, in whom the ROM was measured by experts as well as digitally. Intraclass-correlation coefficients (ICCs) were determined and outcomes were analyzed using Bland-Altman plots.
Inter-rater reliability between experts using a universal goniometer was poor, with ICCs of 0.002, 0.160 and 0.520. Internal validity testing of the game found ICCs of - 0.693, 0.376 and 0.863, thus ranging from poor to good. Reliability testing of the game compared to medical expert measurements, found that mean differences were small for the flexion-extension arc and the radial deviation-ulnar deviation arc.
The ReValidate! game is a reliable home-monitoring device digitally measuring ROM in the wrist. Interestingly, the test-retest reliability of the serious game was found to be considerably higher than the inter-rater reliability of the reference standard, being healthcare professionals using a universal goniometer.

通过可穿戴控制的 ReValidate!腕部康复游戏(同时充当数字量角器)确定腕关节活动范围(ROM)测量的有效性。此外,通过将 ROM 测量值与医学专家使用通用量角器获得的 ROM 测量值进行对比,来确定该游戏的可靠性。
由于通用量角器被认为是参考标准,因此首先确定外科医生之间的组内可靠性。在健康志愿者的测试-再测试设置中确定游戏 ROM 测量的内部有效性。在 34 名运动范围受限的患者中测试游戏的可靠性,由专家以及数字方式测量 ROM。确定组内相关系数(ICC)并使用 Bland-Altman 图进行分析。
使用通用量角器的专家之间的组内可靠性较差,ICC 分别为 0.002、0.160 和 0.520。游戏的内部有效性测试发现 ICC 分别为-0.693、0.376 和 0.863,因此范围从较差到良好。与医学专家测量值相比,游戏的可靠性测试发现,屈曲-伸展弧和桡偏-尺偏弧的平均差异较小。
ReValidate!游戏是一种可靠的家用监测设备,可数字测量腕关节的 ROM。有趣的是,与参考标准(即使用通用量角器的医疗保健专业人员)相比,严肃游戏的测试-再测试可靠性明显更高。
