The assessment of anteroposterior curvatures of the spine by one investigator provided good repeatability and reliability of measurements. Measurements performed by more than one investigator displayed partial repeatability. The value of the observational error should be taken into account in the interpretation of results of measurements performed with the Saunders inclinometer. The assessment of anteroposterior curvatures of the spine should be preceded by a verification of measurement reliability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
