Reliability of a new application for smartphones (DrGoniometer) for elbow angle measurement

摘要

Joint goniometry is a common mode of clinical assessment used in many disciplines, in particular rehabilitation [1-3]. One way to perform joint goniometry is through the use of computer-aided joint measurements from digital photographs [4-8]. This method entails a complex procedure to obtain the range of motion (ROM) value, which consists of the picture being manipulated upon by dedicated software once it has been downloaded from the camera to a computer.
