“…The Bluetooth-embedded IMU showed high validity against SG, which is widely used as the gold standard, while also showing high intra-trial reliability. The SEM and MDC, which are low and reasonable, for the intra-trial reliability of the Bluetooth-embedded IMU were similar to those for the intra-trial reliability of the SG in this study and other reliable devices such as the Vicon motion analysis system and a digital inclinometer demonstrated in previous studies (Inokuchi et al, 2015;Kolber, Fuller, Marshall, Wright, & Hanney, 2012). Even without a magnetometer, it was able to produce excellent results against the SG with only an accelerometer and a gyroscope.…”

Along with advancements in science and technology, anthropometric measurements using electronic devices have become possible, and research is being actively conducted on this topic. Recently, devices using Bluetooth that are portable because of their small size have been developed to allow real-time measurements and recording. This study investigated the concurrent validity and intra-trial reliability of a recently developed Bluetooth-embedded inertial measurement unit. Thirty-seven healthy, young adult participants (age = 22.1±1.2 years, height = 166.8±1.6 cm, mass = 61.9±12.3 kg) were included in the study. The knee extension angles during active knee extension were measured for validity, using both the Bluetooth-embedded inertial measurement unit and the standard goniometer. Intra-trial reliability was tested for consistency during repeated measurements. The intra-class correlation coefficients value for the concurrent validity between the Bluetooth-embedded inertial measurement unit and standard goniometer was 0.991, and the values for the intra-trial reliability of the two devices were 0.973 and 0.963, respectively. Based on its high validity and reliability, the Bluetooth-embedded device may be useful for evaluating functional impairment and exercise performance ability by real-time measurements of joint ranges of motion in clinical rehabilitation or sports fields.

Motor control deficits are common in chronic/recurrent low back pain (LBP) 3,13,19,24,33,34,36 and include altered paraspinal muscle function. 4,5,19,29 Recovery from LBP does not ensure restoration of spine function or movement, and recurrent LBP involves persistent alterations of motor control, including modified coordination between short/deep (eg, multifidus) and long/ superficial (eg, thoracic erector spinae) paraspinal muscles, with a tendency to contract these muscles en masse rather than to activate T T BACKGROUND:Control deficits of back muscles and trunk movement are common in chronic/recurrent low back pain (LBP). A reliable clinical test to rate an individual's ability to dissociate lumbopelvic movement from the thoracolumbar region has been described. This test rates the performance quality of 5 key aspects against criterion standards. T T METHODS: Concurrent validity was examinedby comparison of clinical test scores (overall score and each individual criterion) against spine kinematics. Discriminant validity was evaluated by comparison of scores between pain-free controls and participants with LBP. A receiver operating characteristic curve was calculated to determine the optimal cutoff or score to differentiate between good and poor performers. T T RESULTS:Concurrent validity was supported by the significant correlation between the total score and motion of the T5 vertebra relative to the S1 vertebra (P<.05). Scores for some (4 correlations of 14 measures) but not all individual criteria were correlated with the kinematic features that each criterion was expected to reflect. Discriminant validity was supported by higher test scores for pain-free controls than for participants with LBP after 2 minutes of training (P = .045). Scores of less than 5.5 were more prevalent in the LBP group (pretraining LBP versus control, 72% versus 35%; P = .008; posttraining LBP versus control, 48% versus 16%; P = .018). T T CONCLUSION:This preliminary study of concurrent and discriminant validity of the test provides a foundation to further investigate its utility to characterize thoracolumbar movement patterns in individuals with LBP.

“…Physicians often use either a visual survey (8) or a CROM device (3) to determine neck ROM clinically and in formal studies. The torso however inevitably moves in conjunction with neck movement, so cervical ROM results include the combined movement of the trunk and neck (28). Additionally, when measuring the mobility of the neck in one direction, it should be considered that neck motions involve more than one plane (29).…”

Measurements of cervical range of motion using an optical motion capture system: Repeatability and validity

The current study aimed to assess the repeatability and validity of cervical range of motion (CROM) measurements using an optical motion capture system (OMCS), compared with a CROM device. A total of 20 healthy volunteers were selected and enrolled in the current study after informed consent was received. The motion of the cervical spine in all directions was measured using the OMCS and CROM devices. Reproducibility of data was assessed using the intra-group correlation coefficient (ICC), standard error of measurement (SEM) and minimum detectable change (MDC). Validity was assessed using the coefficient of determination (R2) in combination with Pearson's correlation coefficient. Bland-Altman plot were presented for the two measurement methods. The range of motion (ROM) was measured by using the OMCS and the CROM device during the same session. Both procedures evidenced high ICCs [OMCS: ICC (1,2) =0.802–0.981; CROM device: ICC (1,2) =0.768–0.948], low SEM values (OMCS: 0.98°-1.38°; CROM device: 1.04°-2.45°) and low MDC values (OMCS: 2.72°-3.81°; CROM device: 2.89°-6.78°). A high R2 (0.568–0.882) and Pearson's correlation coefficient (0.753–0.939) were determined. The Bland-Altman plots demonstrated that most of the data were within the 95% consistency limit. In summary, the OMCS has good repeatability and validity when measuring CROM and is an effective way to evaluate cervical vertebral range of motion.
