“…Ambos test han sido validados y están diseña-dos para realizarlos en bipedestación (34,35,36). Para realizar el test de Lunge se pedía al paciente que se colocase en una posición de bipedestación retrasase un pie hasta una posición confortable y se le instruía para la realizar la FD de tobillo del pie adelantado midiendo con la aplicación móvil Tiltmeter (IntegraSoftHN -Carlos E. Hernández Pérez) los grados que alcanzaba la tibia en su parte anterior 37 . Luego se realizaba el mismo protocolo para el otro miembro inferior, de esta forma se completaron tres intentos.…”

Resumen. La talalgia de Sever o apofisitis calcánea ocurre generalmente antes o durante el pico de crecimiento acelerado en niños y niñas. En ocasiones se presenta al practicar un nuevo deporte que implique desplazamientos y saltos como el fútbol. Fue descrita por el Doctor J. W. Sever, a causa de la detección de un dolor con sensibilidad localizada en la cara posterior del hueso calcáneo en jóvenes. El objetivo de este estudio es relacionar la incidencia de la talalgia de Sever con la restricción en los valores del Lunge test y con la incapacidad para activar el mecanismo de Windlass medido a través del test de Jack. Se realizaron los dos test a una muestra de 60 futbolistas jóvenes divididos en dos grupos (Sever = 30 jóvenes, de 10,84±0,79 años y 16,87±0,85 de IMC; No Sever = 30 jóvenes, de 10,87±0,80 y 17,58±1,41 de IMC). Los resultados muestran un test de Jack del pie derecho positivo en el 26,7% de los niños con Sever frente al 10,0% de los niños sin Sever (p=0,181). Mientras que, para el pie izquierdo, el 33,3% de los niños con Sever tiene el test de Jack positivo frente al 13,3% de los niños sin Sever (p=0,125). Por otro lado, el Lunge test para el pie derecho muestra una diferencia significativa (p<0,01) entre los niños con Sever (32,2±3,6) y los niños sin Sever (40,5±4,1). Lo mismo ocurre para el pie izquierdo, niños con Sever (32,1±3,6) y sin Sever (39,2±4,4) con una diferencia significativa (p<0,01). La restricción de la flexión dorsal (FD) de tobillo medida por medio del test de Lunge ha demostrado tener una relación significativa con la incidencia de la Talalgia de Sever. Mientras que el test de Jack no muestra una relación significativa.

Context: Advent of smartphones has brought a wide range of clinical measurement applications (apps) within the reach of most clinicians. The vast majority of smartphones have numerous built-in sensors such as magnetometers, accelerometers, and gyroscopes that make the phone capable of measuring joint range of motion (ROM) and detecting joint positions. The iHandy Level app is a free app which has a visual display alike with the digital inclinometer in regard to numeric size. Objective: The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate available evidence in the literature to assess the psychometric properties (ie, reliability and validity) of the iHandy Level app in measuring lumbar spine ROM and lordosis. Methods: PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Ovid, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect were searched from inception to September 2018 for single-group repeated-measures studies reporting outcomes of lumbar spine ROM or lordosis in adult individuals without symptoms of low back pain (LBP) or patients with LBP. The quality of each included study was assessed using the Quality Appraisal of Reliability Studies checklist. Results: A total of 4 studies with 273 participants were included. Two studies focused on measuring active lumbar spine ROM, and 2 studies evaluated lumbar spine lordosis. Three studies included asymptomatic subjects, and one study recruited patients with LBP. The results showed that the iHandy Level app has sufficient psychometric properties for measuring standing thoraco-lumbo-sacral flexion, extension, lateral flexion, isolated lumbar spine flexion ROM, and lumbar spine lordosis in asymptomatic subjects. One study reported poor concurrent validity with a bubble inclinometer (r = .19–.53), poor intrarater reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = .19–.39), and poor to good interrater reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = .24–.72) for the measurement of active lumbar spine ROM using the iHandy Level app in patients with LBP. Conclusions: This review provided a valuable summary of the research to date examining the psychometric properties of the iHandy Level app for measuring lumbar spine ROM and lordosis.

“…[2] An accurate assessment of the range of motion is also useful in patients who have a suspected diagnosis of scoliosis. [3]The main tool used to make a quantitative assessment of spine range of motion is the measuring tape or the inclinometer. [4] The goniometer can also be used for the evaluation of the range of motion of all the joint elements of the upper and lower extremities.…”

Musculoskeletal disease is a common clinical problem, part of the physical examination of these body systems is the range of motion measurement of the joints. Current clinical tools for estimation of this parameters are visual estimation and the universal goniometer, With the advent of less expensive smartphones and widespread sensor availability, there was the development of a great number of apps that allowed the use of a smartphone as a goniometer. The purpose of this paper is to document research developments of creating a laser-aided goniometer with a smartphone, and suggests to create a business opportunity from this idea. Currently used tools: plastic goniometers, inclinometers, halo goniometer, smartphone without case.The most commonly used tool to measure the range of motion is the goniometer, and by 2019 in clinical practice most goniometers consist of plastic rulers. A goniometer is comprised of three elements. The first element is the axis, the second element is the stationary arm, and the third element is a moving arm. The moving arm of the goniometer is usually aligned to some anatomical landmark while the patient performs an anatomical motion so that the range of motion can be measured. In a sense, the goniometer is a special kind of protractor. The goniometer is used by a variety of health professionals that work with muscular-skeletal complaints, but many health professionals estimate range of motion measurements visually. Poulsen et al.[5] evaluated the reproducibility of goniometric measurements between experienced orthopedic surgeons and experienced chiropractors evaluating patients with hip osteoarthritis. The reproducibility was low between both groups of clinicians. Even though the subjects of Poulsen study were using conventional goniometers to evaluate the range of motion. Therefore a new kind of tool is needed for precise physical diagnosis of patients with orthopedic complaints.
