Is the inclinometer a valid measure of thoracic kyphosis? A cross-sectional study

Abstract: The gravity-dependent (analogue) inclinometer produces angles that are comparable to the modified Cobb angle obtained from radiographs, establishing its criterion validity as a safe clinical tool for measuring thoracic kyphosis.

“…In the current investigation, we used a four-D formetric scanner to evaluate thoracic kyphosis and our average participant’s kyphosis was 82° which was reduced by 18° down to 64° in the group receiving the DTTO. For comparison, it is known that the formetric and inclinometry measures of external thoracic kyphosis overestimate the radiographic determined thoracic kyphosis by approximately 7° and maybe more depending on the unique population [ 23 , 46 , 47 ]. It is likely that our current participant population had a radiographic determined thoracic kyphosis that averaged at least 60° depending on the vertebral levels of measurement.…”

“…Adolesan idiyopatik skolyoz (AİS)'da torakal hipokifoz sık görülmektedir. Omurganın anterior kolumna'sındaki uzamanın posterior'a göre daha fazla olması torakal segmentlerde kifozda azalma ile; lumbal segmentlerde ise lordozda artışla sonuçlanmaktadır [12,13,14] [15,16]. Ölçümler aynı fizyoterapist tarafından bir paravanın arkasında, katılımcılar odaya tek tek alınarak yapılmıştır.…”

“…Columna vertebralisin sakral bölge haricindeki diğer kısımları üç anatomik düzlemde hareketler yapabilmesine rağmen, tüm çalışmalarda sadece sagital düzlemdeki (fleksiyon ve ekstansiyon) hareketleri analiz edilmiştir 8,11,[13][14][15] . Ayrıca çalışmaların iki tanesinde inklinometre ve radyografik ölçümün yanında fleksicurve (fleksirule -esnek açıölçer) ile de ölçüm yapılmıştır 8,13 .…”
