The intra-rater reliability such as intraclass correlation coefficient, standard error of measurements and coefficient of variation was calculated. The Bland-Altman plot was performed to strengthen the study result.Results: The analysis of the results showed that the intra-rater reliability of triaxial accelerometer was high with intraclass correlation coefficient (2,1) of 0.986, standard error of measurements (1.05 Hz) and coefficient of variation (3.2%) for two trials of measurements. The Bland-Altman reported an acceptable agreement between the two measurements taken using the triaxial accelerometer to measure head excursion.Conclusions: The triaxial accelerometer is a simple, objective and useful technology to measure head excursion among the occupational typists. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: equations & formulas pictorial research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
