Abstract
[Purpose] In this study, we investigated the intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of malleolar torsion measurement. [Subjects and Methods] Eleven healthy students (19.4 ± 1.1 years) were assessed by three assessors with different amounts of clinical experience. The intra-rater and inter-rater reliability were measured with the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Bland-Altman analysis. [Results] High reliability was found on the second day, and systematic bias was not seen. [Conclusion] The intra-rater and inter-rater reliability under these measurement conditions indicated that measurements of malleolar torsion differed depending on experience and skill.
