The purpose of this study was to investigate the intratester and intertester reliability of the Cervical Range of Motion instrument (CROM) for measuring cervical flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation. Twenty able-bodied subjects were tested by two testers on two different occasions. Pearson product-moment correlations for intratester reliability ranged from .63 to .90 for tester one and from .62 to .91 for tester two. Intertester reliability was good. Coefficients ranged from .80 to .87 for session one and .74 to .85 for session two. Paired data t-tests showed that there were no significant differences between testers or sessions (p = .01). The results suggest that the CROM has acceptable intratester and intertester reliability. The CROM has many benefits including ease of application and reliability. More research is needed on patients with cervical dysfunction.

: Measuring joint range of motion (ROM) is essential for diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal diseases. However, most clinical measurements are conducted using conventional devices, and their reliability may significantly depend on the tester. This study implemented an RGB-D (red/green/blue-depth) sensor-based artificial intelligence (AI) device to measure joint ROM and compared its reliability with that of a universal goniometer (UG).

The PULSE workload monitor (PULSE) is a commercially available, wearable device that assesses upper extremity kinematics and kinetics during overhand pitching with three metrics to improve pitching performance. The purpose of this study was to determine the inter-tester and intra-tester reliability of the PULSE metrics when applied by a lay consumer versus trained researcher. A total of 14 healthy, adult male (age: 44.

Assessing the reliability of measurement instruments and equipment is essential to ensure the accurate tracking of athletes over extended periods, minimizing the measurement errors caused by chance or other factors. However, a less common but equally important analysis is the verification of inter-measurement agreement, which complements the reliability results. To evaluate the intra- and inter-test reliability of an isometric hip adduction strength and asymmetries test in professional soccer players.

Background: Literature assessing elasticity in rotator cuff (RC) muscles with shear wave elastography (SWE) is growing but little is known about the overall measurement properties. However, this information is crucial before implementation in research or practice. The objective of this review was first, to systematically investigate the evidence regarding reliability and validity of rotator cuff (RC) muscles shear wave elastography (SWE).
