“…Measuring FNA is possible with the angle formed by the vertical line and the tibial crest, when the greater trochanter is most prominent laterally. Yoon et al compared the reliability of the method to measure FNA, including the comparison between an industrial digital inclinometer (GemRed DBB, Gain Express Holdings, Ltd., Hong Kong, China) as gold standard and an iPhone (Apple, Cupertino, USA) with TiltMeter (IntegraSoftHN) application [ 29 ]. Nineteen hips were examined in ten healthy subjects observed by two physical therapists.…”

“…Interobserver ICC (2,3) is 0.85, and SEM is equal to 4.1°. Authors concluded that “using a Smartphone with an inclinometer application during the TCAT showed comparable reliability to a digital inclinometer” [ 29 ]. This scientific work validates the use of a standard commercial Smartphone application for the passive angle measurement of hip proprioception.…”

Assessment of joint functional and proprioceptive abilities is essential for balance, posture, and motor control rehabilitation. Joint functional ability refers to the capacity of movement of the joint. It may be evaluated thereby measuring the joint range of motion (ROM). Proprioception can be defined as the perception of the position and of the movement of various body parts in space. Its role is essential in sensorimotor control for movement acuity, joint stability, coordination, and balance. Its clinical evaluation is commonly based on the assessment of the joint position sense (JPS). Both ROM and JPS measurements require estimating angles through goniometer, scoliometer, laser-pointer, and bubble or digital inclinometer. With the arrival of Smartphones, these costly clinical tools tend to be replaced. Beyond evaluation, maintaining and/or improving joint functional and proprioceptive abilities by training with physical therapy is important for long-term management. This review aims to report Smartphone applications used for measuring and improving functional and proprioceptive abilities. It identifies that Smartphone applications are reliable for clinical measurements and are mainly used to assess ROM and JPS. However, there is lack of studies on Smartphone applications which can be used in an autonomous way to provide physical therapy exercises at home.

“…According to previous studies [14,15], EOS showed significantly lower radiation dose compared with conventional pelvic X-rays with a factor of 0.6 for body mass index <25 (7 vs 10.7 dGy/cm 2 ) and a factor of 0.3 for body mass index 30-40 (9.7 vs 30.1 dGy/cm 2 ). The average radiation exposure of an EOS leg full-length image on both sides is many times lower than that of the CT scan needed to determine the torsion.…”

Background: Computed tomography (CT) scan is the standard for assessment of femoral torsion. This observational study was conducted to evaluate the comparability of the EOS radiation dose scanning system (EOS imaging, Paris, France) and the CT scan in patients with suspected torsional malalignment of the femur. Methods: Patients with suspected torsional malalignment of the femur were included in a study for surgical planning. The primary endpoint was to compare the 3-dimensional radiological (EOS) imaging system with the CT scan to determine femoral anteversion (AV) angle. Three independent raters performed measurements. Comparability of CT scan and EOS values was assessed by Pearson correlation, t test, interobserver reliability, and intraobserver reliability (Cronbach alpha). Results: About 34 femora were examined. Interobserver reliability/intraobserver reliability was 0.911 of 0.955 for EOS and 0.934 of 0.934 for CT scan. EOS system revealed an AV angle of 12.2 ± 10.0 (À15.0 to 32.0 ). CT examinations showed an AV angle of 12.6 ± 9.2 (À3.2 to 35.6 ). About 11 hips featured physiological AV, 14 hips showed decreased AV (<10 ) or retroversion (<0 ), and 9 hips showed increased AV (>20 ). Overall, a strong Pearson correlation of t ¼ 0.855 and a highly significant correlation in the t test for both methods was seen. In patients with decreased AV, retroversion, or increased AV, Pearson correlation only resulted in a moderate/low correlation of t ¼ 0.495 and t ¼ 0.292. The t test showed no significant correlation at malrotation. Conclusion: In torsional malalignment, EOS does not have correlation with CT measurements. In contrast to CT scan, EOS allows femoral torsion measurement independent of legs' positioning.

Osteoarthritis is a common chronic disease that can be better treated with the help of self-management interventions. Mobile health (mHealth) technologies are becoming a popular means to deliver such interventions. We reviewed the current state of research and development of mHealth technologies for osteoarthritis self-management to determine gaps future research could address. We conducted a systematic review of English articles and a survey of apps available in the marketplace as of 2016. Among 117 unique articles identified, 25 articles that met our inclusion criteria were reviewed in-depth. The app search identified 23 relevant apps for osteoarthritis self-management. Through the synthesis of three research themes (osteoarthritis assessment tools, osteoarthritis measurement tools, and osteoarthritis motion monitoring tools) that emerged from the current knowledge base, we provide a design framework to guide the development of more comprehensive osteoarthritis mHealth apps that facilitate self-management, decision support, and shared decision-making.
