“…The results showed a high correlation, with an inter-rater ICC value of 0.928, a 95% CI of 0.873-0.959, and intra-rater ICC value of 0.944, and a 95% CI of 0.901-0.968. In addition, a high correlation between the Spinal Mouse and the Cobb's angle has been shown [6]. Our study has shown that there is a correlation with the Back Mapper and the Spinal Mouse.…”

“…Data was sampled every 1.3 mm, with the number of samples set to 150 Hz. In previous studies [6], the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of the Spinal Mouse was excellent (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC]= 0.872-0.962). The kyphotic and lordotic angular values were collected from the measured data.…”

“…Also, increased curvature of the spine could impose a problem with cardiopulmonary function. The Spinal Mouse [6] and attached landmark in the trunk and scapulae [7] is a method of measuring scoliosis. The Spinal Mouse has limited ability to assess the spine in 3 dimension.…”

Objective: The Back Mapper is one type of Rasterstereography and it can be used in the clinic without radiation exposure. The purpose of our study was to prove the reliability and validity of the Back Mapper and to compare it with the Spinal Mouse, which is an assessment tool for spinal curvatures using a wheeled mouse, and the Cobb angle by X-ray. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Twenty healthy adults participated in the test to investigate for the inter-rater reliability, intra-rater reliability, and concurrent validity. The tests were performed with assessment devices for scoliosis such as the Back Mapper, Spinal Mouse and Cobb's angle. Data was analyzed by an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) value and a standard error of measurement for reliability and correlation analysis for validity. Results: Intra-rater reliability of the Back Mapper was good (Cronbach's α=0.821-0.984, ICC=0.696-0.969) except for assessing the lordotic angle. Inter-rater reliability was good (Cronbach's α=0.870-0.958, ICC=0.770-0.919) in assessment for trunk imbalance, rotation of scapulae, thoracic angle, lumbar angle, and kyphotic angle. The kyphotic angle in the Spinal Mouse had a significant correlation icompared with the Back Mapper (r=0.510, p<0.05), and the Cobb's angle from an X-ray had a significant correlation with trunk inclination (r=0.532, p<0.05). Conclusions: These findings provide good intra-reliability of the Back Mapper in healthy subjects, but the Back Mapper requires more experienced practice to have good inter-reliability. Also, the variables of the Back Mapper does not seem as appropriate compared with the Cobb angle by X-ray.

“…Besides, it should be kept in mind that the error rate of the measurements made with the Spinal Mouse device is similar to the human-based error rate in x-ray devices which are accepted as the gold standard in scoliosis measurements [17,24]. Livanelioğlu et al did not perform any measurements for the reliability of the measurements in the sagittal plane [23]. In this study, we performed the measurements in both sagittal and frontal plane.…”

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the reliability of the Spinal Mouse device in both frontal and sagittal measurements in asymptomatic female adolescents. Material and Method: A total of 28 female students aged 15-18 (16.29 ± 1.08) in high school equivalent education institutions in Antalya were included in the study. Measurements were performed with the Spinal Mouse device in both frontal and sagittal planes with a one-week interval. The reliability of the two measurements was evaluated using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: In this study, the test-retest results of the thoracic and lumbar region measurement in the frontal plane were found to be moderately reliable (ICC: 0.591-0.665), and the test-retest results of the thoracic and lumbar region in the sagittal plane showed good reliability (ICC: 0.867-0.876). Discussion: In this study, the test-retest results of the thoracic and lumbar region measurements in the frontal plane were found to be moderately reliable. The test-retest results of the thoracic and lumber curves in the sagittal plane showed good reliability. In the light of these data, we believe that, if the application principles of the device are implied carefully, the Spinal Mouse device is a practical and reliable device that can be used by physiotherapists in field screening and in clinical assessment of spine problems.

“…Using the software of this device, the data seen on screen are used to examine the positional relationship between each of the vertebrae, to measure the angles between the vertebrae, and to calculate the angles of sagittal and frontal curvature [8]. In the present study, the thoracic and lumbar curvatures of participants were examined through the measurements in anatomic position (Figure 1), maximum trunk fl exion ( Figure 2), and maximum trunk extension ( Figure 3).…”

The validity and reliability of “Spinal Mouse” assessment of spinal curvatures in the frontal plane in pediatric adolescent idiopathic thoraco-lumbar curves

Abstract: We conclude that SM can be used for research and patient follow-up in the clinic as a safe, reliable, quick, and easy to use method with no side effects although it cannot be the only factor to consider when determining the treatment plan of AIS patients.
