Abstract
Background
Measurement of lumbar spine range of motion (ROM) is often considered to be an essential component of lumbar spine physiotherapy and orthopedic assessment. The measurement can be carried out through various instruments such as inclinometers, goniometers, and etc. Recent smartphones have been equipped with accelerometers and magnetometers, which, through specific software applications (apps) can be used for inclinometric functions.
Purpose
The main purpose was to investigate the reliability and validity of an iPhone® app (TiltMeter©-advanced level and inclinometer) for measuring standing lumbar spine flexion–extension ROM in asymptomatic subjects.
