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

Concurrent Validity of Flexicurve Instrument Measurements: Sagittal Skin Contour of the Cervical Spine Compared With Lateral Cervical Radiographic Measurements

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 ...

Noninvasive Measurement of Lumbar Sagittal Mobility

Spine, 1991
The use of flexicurves to measure lumbar sagittal mobility was subjected to a series of reliability and validation experiments. Appropriate statistical methods were described and used to quantify intraobserver and intrasubject variability and to determine limits of agreement with measurements from radiographs.

Reliability and minimal detectable change of spinal length and width measurements using the Flexicurve for usual standing posture in healthy young adults1

Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, 2010
Purpose: The purposes of this study were to: 1) investigate the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of use of the Flexicurve for measurement of spinal length (L), thoracic (TL) and lumbar length (LL), thoracic (TW) and lumbar width (LW), and 2) quantify measurement error and minimal detectable change at the 95% CI (MDC95) for the same measurements.

Reproducibility of the Flexicurve for Assessment of Thoracic and Lumbar Spine Range of Motion

Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the intra- and inter-rater reproducibility of the Flexicurve for assessing the flexion and extension range of motion of the thoracic and lumbar spine.
