Abstract

[Purpose] This study was conducted to clarify the minimum detectable change (MDC), and the intra-day, inter-day, and intra-rater reliabilities of measurements of spinal curvature in the prone position with a Spinal Mouse. [Subjects] The subjects were 20 healthy adult males. [Method] Measurements were made twice on two separate days, and through the intra- and inter-day ICC, SEM, and MDC95, we investigated the intra-rater reliability. [Results] The intra-day ICC ranged from 0.85~0.95, and the inter-day ICC ranged from 0.77~0.91. The inter-day results suggest that changes in thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis, and sacral inclination angles greater than 7.5, 4.0, and 4.8°, respectively, are true variations. [Conclusion] The results suggest that the measurement of spinal curvature in the prone position with the Spinal Mouse can be made with high reliability. <br>
