Abstract

Objective: Accurate measurement of THORACIC KYPHOSIS has a great value for both evaluating patients and monitoring the effect of different treatments. DUAL DIGITAL INCLINOMETER (DDI) has been introduced as a non-invasive devise that can measure the kyphosis angle. However, according to available information, there is only one published study regarding the estimation of VALIDITY and REPEATABILITY of this device in our country. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the VALIDITY and REPEATABILITY of the THORACIC KYPHOSIS angle measurement using DDI in women over 45 years.Materials and Methods: In this methodological study, THORACIC KYPHOSIS was measured by DDI device three times on 20 women aged 45-70 years. The first two measurements were taken with an hour apart in same day to assess the REPEATABILITY within-day and the third measurement was taken one day later to assess the between-days REPEATABILITY. Furthermore, the value of kyphosis angle was measured by calculating Cobb angle on radiological films with an examiner and the VALIDITY of obtained angle was studied by DDI ICC correlation coefficient test with 95% confidence intervals for data analysis.Results: The VALIDITY of values obtained by DDI compared to the Cobb angle was high (ICC=0.86). This revealed that the DDI was reasonably valid for women over 45 years. Within-day and between-days THORACIC KYPHOSIS measurements using DDI were shown to be reliable with high ICC values. (0.95 for within-day and 0.93 for between days).Conclusion: According to the findings of the present study, the DDI is a valid and reliable tool for non-invasive measurement of THORACIC KYPHOSIS.
