Abstract

Objective: New reliable devices about ankle dorsiflexion range of motion measures have been studied in healthy subjects.  The aim our study was to correlate the different measuring devices in older adults.Material and Method: 33 healthy elderly patients older than 65 years. (age 71 ± 3.6 years height 167.0 ± 10 cm, weight 68.24 ± 13.47 kg, and body mass index 24.31 ± 3.50 kg/m2) participated in the study. It has been valued dorsiflexion ankle with different devices: tape measure, goniometer and inclinometer app for smartphone. The subjects were evaluated in two different sessions at the same time of day, and there was a break of two weeks between sessions.Results: Mean values and standard deviations were as follows: Tape measure (right 5.12 ± 3.08; left 5.12 ± 2.80), goniometer (right 45.87° ± 4.98; left 44.50° ± 5.54) and inclinometer app (right 46.53° ± 4.79; left 45.27° ± 5.19). Intraclass correlation coefficients values shows a good correlation in right lower limb between tape measure and goniometer (0,753).Conclusions: The results of the present study indicated a good correlation in right lower limb between tape measure and goniometer in older adults. Other measures do not achieve this correlations shows moderate and poor values.
