“…At a later time, the same sample was categorized as (ii) nonrecurrent faller group ( ≤ 1 fall) and recurrent faller group ( ≥ 2 falls) to identify the risk factors for recurrent falls. 27 The older women who answered "yes" to the question about the falls were also inquired about the fall location and about any fracture that may have resulted from the fall.…”

“…Photogrammetry and inclinometer measurements are common methods of assessing anteroposterior spinal curvatures [14,15]. Inclinometer is reliable [16], handy and affordable, as a result of which it is often used in examinations [17,18].…”

Purpose The purpose of the study was to investigate correlations between parameters of anteroposterior spinal curvatures in the sagittal plane, measured with the use of photogrammetric technique and inclinometer in healthy elderly women. Methods Randomized study involved 50 females, ranging from 50 to 70 years of age (mean 62.26 ± 6.94); mean body mass index (BMI) 27.69 ± 4.79. The examined parameters included angle of inclination in lumbosacral spine (ALFA), thoracolumbar transition (BETA), upper thoracic segment (GAMMA), angle of lumbar lordosis (LLA) and thoracic kyphosis (TKA). Results obtained with gravitational inclinometer were compared with those identified with photogrammetry method. Statistical analyses were performed with Mann-Whitney U test, regression analysis and Bland-Altman analysis. Results In Mann-Whitney U test, with correction due to continuity, no statistically significant differences for any variable were found. Regression analysis was significant only for the variable of BETA angle. Bland-Altman coefficient for the respective angles was: ALFA 2.0%, BETA 4%, GAMMA 0%, LLA 2% and TKA 0%. Conclusions The results acquired with gravitational inclinometer and with photogrammetric technique are comparable, as the parameters of anteroposterior spinal curvatures acquired with these two methods are found to be compatible in the case of measurements of lumbar lordosis and thoracic kyphosis.
