The Validity and Reproducibility of the Flexicurve in the Evaluation of Cervical Spine Lordosis
Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, 2017 The purpose of this study was to measure the validity and reliability of flexicurve measurements of cervical curvature in the sagittal plane in adults.One hundred thirteen adults were assessed in the seated position with flexicurve radiographs. Two groups were measured: (1) the validity group (n = 55), and (2) the reliability group (n = 58).

Osteoporosis International, 2019 The Flexicurve ruler is an alternative method to radiographs for measuring thoracic kyphosis (curvature), but it is not certain that it is comparable. This study shows that Flexicurve can estimate radiographic vertebral centroid angles with less error than Cobb angles but that its accuracy would be inadequate for most clinical purposes.The Flexicurve ...

Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, 2005 The aim of this study was to compare flexicurve surface contour measurements of the cervical spine with radiographic measurements of cervical lordosis.One examiner evaluated 96 patients with chronic neck pain in neutral posture using a flexible ruler, flexicurve, to measure sagittal contour of the skin over the cervical spine from the external ...

Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, 2005 To evaluate reliability of a simple instrument, the flexicurve, in determining cervical sagittal skin contour.This study obtained repeated random measurements involving 3 investigators and 30 subjects once per day over a 2-day trial period. Thirty normal subjects were examined for cervical spine skin contour twice by 3 separate investigators with a 1 ...

Interrater reliability of flexicurve postural measures among novice users
Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, 2004 The purpose of this study was to establish the interrater reliability of the flexicurve when used by novice testers to measure thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis in a community-based population. Three graduate students independently measured 51 healthy women (aged 21 to 88 years). The flexicurve was molded to the contour of the spine and traced onto
