Comparison of an Electrogoniometer with the Fisi Metrix Program in the Assessment of Wrist Deviation

Abstract

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to compare the measurements of an electrogoniometer with those of the Fisi Metrix program to investigate the reliability and validity of Fisi Metrix assessments of wrist ROM. [Methods] The subjects were eighteen healthy young females. Wrist deviation was measured on images by three raters for measurement of wrist ROM using the Fisi Metrix program. [Results] Radial and ulnar deviation of the wrist between the methods showed a significant correlation, r > 0.80, and intra-rater reliability was even higher, ICC(1,1)>0.90. [Conclusion] We consider measurements of ROM by the Fisi Metrix program will be useful in the field of clinical and rehabilitation.
