Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare concurrent validity and test-retest reliability based on Craniovertebral angle of ¡®Angles video goniometer¡¯, a smart phone application for convenient range of motion measurement, and ¡®Image J¡¯, an analysis software with high reliability and validity. This was conducted to find out whether ¡®Angle video goniometer¡¯ can be used clinically.
Design: Cross-sectional study
Methods: Fifty subjects were imaged laterally, and the angle of the head and spine was measured using Image J and the Angles video goniometer, respectively, in a resting posture and a chin in posture. The level of concurrent validity between the two measurement methods and the level of inter-rater reliability and intra-rater reliability were analyzed.
Results: For forty participants, the concurrent validity between Image J and Angles video goniometer showed very high validity with ICC of 0.997(0.995¡0.999) and 0.994(0.994¡0.998), CVME% 0.71¡0.72%, SEM% 0.31¡0.34, MDC% 0.86¡0.94. The test-retest intra-rater reliability showed very high reliability ICC 0.994(0.991¡0.996), CVME% 0.71%, SEM% 0.31¡0.43, MDC% 0.86~1.19%. The test-retest inter-rater showed very high reliability ICC 0.995(0.992¡0.997), CVME% 0.71%, SEM% 0.43¡0.59%, MDC% 1.20¡1.62%
Conclusions: Angles video goniometer¡¯, a smartphone application, is a device with very high reliability and validity for craniovertebral angle measurement in healthy adults, and it is a device that can be easily used in clinical practice.
