“…Such a system has been shown previously to have excellent repeated-measures reliability relating to spinal motion analysis, with the intraclass correlation coefficient ranging from 0.88 to 0.99 and a standard error of measurement ranging from 0.4°to 5.2°. 15 The accuracy of such a system has been established in a preliminary study and shown to offer root mean square errors of 0.70% to 1.39% compared with a precision angle measurement table (THETAmetrix).…”

“…Accelerometers are devices that measure acceleration and are generally used in positioning systems, inclination sensors, and vibration sensors. Studies such as those by Alqhtani et al 54 , Consmuller et al 55 and Ronchi et al 26 used accelerometers to assess spinal ROM. All of them assessed intra and inter-rater reproducibility, obtaining very high results of agreement between measurements.…”

A coluna vertebral apresenta mobilidade e características distintas conforme a região anatômica, e, há diversos instrumentos que propiciam sua avaliação. Esta revisão sistemática objetivou identificar os métodos e instrumentos utilizados para avaliar a amplitude de movimento da coluna vertebral torácica e lombar no plano sagital que apresentam validade e/ou repetibilidade e/ou reprodutibilidade confirmados, evidenciando seus respectivos índices psicométricos. Foram realizadas buscas nas bases de dados BIREME, EMBASE, PEDro, PubMed, Science Direct, SCOPUS e Web of Science, além de buscas manuais. Dois revisores independentes realizaram a seleção dos estudos, extraíram os dados, avaliaram a qualidade metodológica, o risco de viés e a evidência (GRADE). Foram incluídos 46 estudos na análise qualitativa, e destes, apenas sete foram incluídos na análise quantitativa. Há evidência científica, confirmada por metanálise, acerca da reprodutibilidade interavaliador do instrumento fita métrica no teste de Schöber modificado para flexão lombar e da reprodutibilidade intra-avaliador dos instrumentos flexicurva e sistema de análise de vídeo para a extensão e flexão lombar. E, com base nos critérios do GRADE, ainda há baixa evidência científica sobre a validade, repetibilidade e reprodutibilidade dos instrumentos e métodos indicados para a avaliação da amplitude de movimento articular da coluna vertebral torácica e lombar no plano sagital. Palavras-chave: Amplitude de movimento articular. Coluna vertebral. Revisão.

“…As could be expected, the study revealed no significant differences between instruments for flexion-extension and lateral flexion movements, but the same could not be said about rotation. Another study proved that accelerometer-based systems are reliable for measuring the regional breakdown of spinal motion [ 32 ]. These works show that a solution for measuring CROM based on inertial devices is not only feasible, but reliable.…”

Neck injuries and the related pain have a high prevalence and represent an important health problem. To properly diagnose and treat them, practitioners need an accurate system for measuring Cervical Range Of Motion (CROM). This article describes the development and validation of an inexpensive, small (4 cm × 4 cm × 8 cm), light (< 200 g) and easy to use solution for measuring CROM using wearable inertial sensors. The proposed solution has been designed with the clinical practice in mind, after consulting with practitioners. It is composed of: (a) two wearable wireless MEMS-based inertial devices, (b) a recording and report generation software application and (c) a measurement protocol for assessing CROM. The solution provides accurate (none of our results is outside the ROM ranges when compared with previously published results based on an optical tracking device) and reliable measurements (ICC = 0.93 for interrater reliability when compared with an optical tracking device and ICC > 0.90 for test-retest reliability), surpassing the popular CROM instrument’s capabilities and precision. It also fulfills the needs for clinical practice attending to effectiveness, efficiency (4 min from setup to final report) and user’s satisfaction (as reported by practitioners). The solution has been certified for mass-production and use in medical environments.
