Background An understanding of the average range of movement of the shoulder that is
normally achievable is an important part of treatment for shoulder disorders. The average …

In symptomatic subjects, the reliability of tests for shoulder joint range of motion has yet to be
determined. For this reason, inter-rater and intra-rater agreement trials were undertaken to …

Measuring range of motion (ROM) is the first step of a physical examination and functional
evaluation of the shoulder joint. Digital inclinometers are available on the market; however …

Background Different measurements are used to assess shoulder function, including range
of motion, strength, functional performance and self-report function. To understand …

Valentine RE, Lewis JS. Intraobserver reliability of 4 physiologic movements of the shoulder
in subjects with and without symptoms. OBJECTIVE: To assess intraobserver reliability of 4 …

Background Shoulder range of motion (ROM) and strength measurements are imperative in
the clinical assessment of the patient's status and progression over time. The method and …

Background Reproducible measurements of the range of motion are an important
prerequisite for the interpretation of study results. The digital inclinometer is considered to be …

Abstract Background and Purpose. People with idiopathic loss of shoulder range of motion
(ROM) have difficulty completing activities of daily living. This investigation was performed to …

The objectives of this study were to determine both the intra-rater reliability and the smallest
real difference necessary to detect meaningful clinical changes over an 8–12 week period …

The present study investigated the intrarater reliability, interrater reliability and minimal
detectable change at the 90% confidence interval (MDC90) of active shoulder range of …
