Inclinometric measurement of kyphotic curvature: Description and clinimetric properties.
Background: Hyperkyphosis is associated with physical impairments, activity limitations, and reduced quality of life. Therefore, a simple, reliable, responsive, and valid clinical measure of dorsal kyphosis would be valuable to clinicians. Objective: To describe a novel procedure for measuring kypho...

Therefore, a simple, reliable, responsive, and valid clinical measure of dorsal kyphosis would be valuable to clinicians. Objective: To describe a novel procedure for measuring kyphotic curvature—the inclinometric kyphosis measure (IKM)—and provide an estimation of reliability, responsiveness, and validity. Methods: During 2 sessions spaced days apart, we used a bubble inclinometer to measure dorsal kyphosis in 68 patients receiving outpatient physical therapy. We also documented occiput-to-wall status and tragus-to-wall distance. Results: Intra-rater reliability of the IKM was supported by intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC3,1) of 0.94 and 0.91 for relaxed and cued conditions, respectively. Responsiveness, as indicated by minimal detectable change, was 8.0 and 10.0 degrees under relaxed and cued conditions, respectively. Validity was supported by significant correlations between the IKM and tragus-to-wall and by differences in the IKM between: 1) relaxed and cued conditions; 2) patients who could and could not touch occiput to the wall; and 3) patients who were older versus younger than 50 years of age. Conclusions: The IKM is a simple, reliable, responsive, and valid method for assessing posture in patients with musculoskeletal conditions. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: pictorial research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
