“…Therefore, a ‘better’ approach should be identified to measure cervical mobility in clinical and research applications. In addition, most studies are currently focused on measuring the ROM of healthy people or patients with neck pain ( 7 , 17 , 25 ), while the reliability of the measurements among cervical spondylosis and cervical fusion patients has remained to be determined. The CODA motion analysis system has not been used for measuring CROM, but has been reported to reliably and accurately evaluate the ROM of other joints under different circumstances ( 15 , 16 ).…”

“…At present, clinicians and researchers utilize various devices to assess CROM. When raters use goniometry ( 6 ), inclinometry ( 7 ), radiography ( 8 ) or a CROM device ( 9 ) for assessment, no continuous angles are obtained, and scales require to be consulted or complex calculations must be performed, which are sources of human error. Furthermore, the CROM device cannot measure the pure CROM but includes the trunk motion.…”

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the reliability of the Cartesian Optoelectronic Dynamic Anthropometer (CODA) motion system in measuring the cervical range of motion (ROM) and verify the construct validity of the CODA motion system. A total of 26 patients with cervical spondylosis and 22 patients with anterior cervical fusion were enrolled and the CODA motion analysis system was used to measure the three-dimensional cervical ROM. Intra- and inter-rater reliability was assessed by interclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), standard error of measurement (SEm), Limits of Agreements (LOA) and minimal detectable change (MDC). Independent samples t-tests were performed to examine the differences of cervical ROM between cervical spondylosis and anterior cervical fusion patients. The results revealed that in the cervical spondylosis group, the reliability was almost perfect (intra-rater reliability: ICC, 0.87–0.95; LOA, −12.86–13.70; SEm, 2.97–4.58; inter-rater reliability: ICC, 0.84–0.95; LOA, −13.09–13.48; SEm, 3.13–4.32). In the anterior cervical fusion group, the reliability was high (intra-rater reliability: ICC, 0.88–0.97; LOA, −10.65–11.08; SEm, 2.10–3.77; inter-rater reliability: ICC, 0.86–0.96; LOA, −10.91–13.66; SEm, 2.20–4.45). The cervical ROM in the cervical spondylosis group was significantly higher than that in the anterior cervical fusion group in all directions except for left rotation. In conclusion, the CODA motion analysis system is highly reliable in measuring cervical ROM and the construct validity was verified, as the system was sufficiently sensitive to distinguish between the cervical spondylosis and anterior cervical fusion groups based on their ROM.

“…Reliability, the most frequently evaluated aspect, is a quality showing to what extent patients are differentiated, despite measurement errors [8]. Many other tools have been described in the literature as possible options for clinical evaluation when choosing an adequate method of assessing the cervical range of motion, yet there is no agreement as to which is the gold standard method for measurement of range of motion [10,11].…”

Purpose. The current study was designed to assess interrater and intrarater validity of cervical range of motion measurements performed with a CROM goniometer. Material and Methods. The study involved 95 healthy university students (31 males and 64 females) aged 20-24 years. Two examiners performed measurements of cervical range of motion using a CROM goniometer. The same subjects were examined again after two weeks, in the same conditions. The results acquired by one rater during the first and the second examination were compared for reproducibility, while the results obtained by the two examiners were compared to assess validity and reliability of the tool. Cronbach’s alpha was applied to determine intrarater reliability, and the values of correlations were used to assess the interrater agreement. Results. Analysis of the results showed both intrarater and interrater agreement in all the measures of cervical range of motion. The highest intrarater and interrater concordance was observed in the measure of extension. Intrarater agreement for Examiner 1 was reflected by Cronbach’s alpha=0.85, and for Examiner 2 by Cronbach’s alpha=0.89. As for the interrater agreement in the measure of extension, the value of correlation in both the first and the second measurement amounted to r=0.89. Conclusions. Measurements performed with the CROM goniometer show interrater and intrarater agreement in assessments of cervical range of motion. The CROM goniometer can be recommended for use in daily clinical practice.
