Intra-rater reliability of goniometry to measure scapular protraction and retraction.

Study Design: Observational, descriptive design.

Background: Despite scapular mobility being essential for the completion of activities of daily living (ADLs), there is currently no established, a reliable goniometric technique to measure scapular protraction and retraction. A proposed method has shown clinically significant inter-rater reliability for a goniometric technique for these measurements.
