导论.在本文中，SpinalMouse是一种用于测量矢状面脊柱活动度（ROM）的新型计算机化外部设备，对评分者间可靠性和临床实践中的使用进行了测试。材料和方法。为了评估评分者间的可靠性，两名研究人员分别测量了111名受试者。结果屈曲相关系数r=0.90，伸展相关系数r=0.85，总倾斜相关系数r=0.90。类内系数分别为屈曲0.95，伸展0.92和总倾斜0.95。一个差的协议（kappa=0.22）被发现存在异常值从正常值的intersegmentedROM。我们得出的结论是，该设备是一个有用的，可靠的工具，用于测量矢状面脊柱ROM在临床实践中，考虑到它赋予患者的小负载和测量时间短。在遵循我们的建议后，SpinalMouse可能会更准确。
Introduction. In this paper the SpinalMouse, a new computerised external device for measuring sagittal spinal range of motion (ROM), was tested for inter-rater reliability and use in clinical practice. Materials and methods. To assess inter-rater reliability, two investigators each measured 111 subjects. Results. Correlation coefficients were found to be r=0.90 for flexion, r=0.85 for extension and r=0.90 for total inclination. Intra-class coefficients were 0.95 for flexion, 0.92 for extension and 0.95 for total inclination. A poor agreement (kappa=0.22) was found for the presence of outliers from normal values for intersegmental ROM. Conclusion. We conclude the device is a useful, reliable tool for measuring sagittal spinal ROM in clinical practice, considering the small load it confers on patients and the short amount of time the measurement involves. The SpinalMouse might be more accurate after following the recommendations we make.
