Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Validity and reliability of the Spineangel® lumbo-pelvic postural monitor

Notas: Sumario: Objective: to determine the reliability and the concurrent validity of the Spineangel® lumbo-pelvic postural monitoring device. Methods: the dynamic lumbo-pelvic posture of 25 participants was simultaneously monitored by the Spineangel® and FastrakTM devices. Participants performed six different functional tasks in random order. Within-task, within-session and between-day intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC(3,1), ICC(3,5), ICC(2,5), respectively) reliability were calculated for Spineangel® measurements. Concurrent validity of the Spineangel® was assessed by means of a Bland and Altman plot and by means of Pearson's correlation coefficient and paired t-test. Results: within-task, within-session and between-day ICC for the Spineangel® were found to be excellent (>0.93). The Spineangel® and FastrakTM pelvic measurements were found to have a good correlation (R = 0.77). Conclusion: the Spineangel® is a reliable and valid device for monitoring general lumbo-pelvic movements when clipped on the belt or waistband of workers' clothing during various occupational activities.Registros relacionados: En: Ergonomics : the international journal of research and practice in human factors and ergonomics. - Oxon [United Kingdom] : Taylor & Francis, 2010- = ISSN 0014-0139. - 03/06/2013 Volumen 56 Número 6 - junio 2013 , p. 977-991Otras clasificaciones: 875
