：使用传统测角仪测量关节活动范围需要检查者的时间和熟练的技术，例如骨指数的触诊和基本轴或运动轴的准备。在本研究中，通过倾斜测角仪简单地测量关节运动范围，以检查测量值的有效性和再现性。选取17名健康男性（平均年龄22.3岁），采用常规测角仪和倾斜测角仪测量34个肢体的肘、膝屈曲角度。倾角测角仪测量值与传统测角仪测量值相关性较高（r=0.77（cid：150）0.89），仅肘关节两肢测量误差超过10度。为了检查测量值的再现性，获得组内相关系数（ICC）。倾角测角仪测量的测量者内和测量者间 ICC 高于传统测角仪的测量值。这些结果证明了倾斜测角仪测量关节运动范围的有效性和可重复性。这种简单的方法适用于患者自我管理的提高以及物理或职业治疗学生测量技术的学习过程。
: The measurement of joint range of motion by the conventional goniometer requires the time and skilled technique of examiners, such as a palpation of bone index and preparation of basic or locomotive axis. In the present study, joint range of motion was simply measured by an inclination goniometer in order to examine the validity and reproducibility of measurement values. Among 17 healthy male subjects (average age: 22.3 years), flexion angles of elbow and knee of 34 extremities were measured both by the conventional goniometer and the inclination goniometer. There was a high correlation between the measurement values by the inclination goniometer and that by the conventional goniometer (r=0.77(cid:150)0.89), and only two extremities of elbow joint indicated a measurement error of over 10 degrees. In order to examine the reproducibility of measurement values, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was obtained. Intrarater and interrater ICC were higher in the measurement by the inclination goniometer than in that by the conventional goniometer. These results certify the validity and reproducibility of measurement of joint range of motion by the inclination goniometer. This simple method is applicable to the improvement in self-management of patients and to learning process of measurement techniques among physical or occupational therapy students.
