Abstract

[Purpose] The validity of a joint position sense test method for the elbow joint using a smartphone inclinometer application was examined and compared with conventional goniometry. [Subjects and Methods] The examiners were 3 physical therapists, and the tested subjects were 10 healthy young males. The reliability of the inclinometer was tested by analyzing values measured by the 3 examiners of the elbow joint and a stationary object with an inclination of 30 degrees. The validity of the joint position sense test results obtained using the smartphone was analyzed in a comparison with measurements obtained using a goniometer. [Results] No significant inter-rater differences were found among the measured values. The comparison of the smartphone values with the goniometry measurements showed there was a strong correlation between the two methods. [Conclusion] Because the sense of joint position can be measured using a smartphone, it may have a wide range of practical applications in the future. <br>
