title = "An inertial sensor-based protocol for spinal range of motion measurements",
abstract = "To develop a protocol for assessing spinal range of motion using an inertial sensor device. The baseline error of an inertial sensor was assessed using a bicycle wheel. Nineteen healthy subjects (12 females and 7 males, average age 18.2 ± 0.6 years) were then prospectively enrolled in a study to assess the reliability of an inertial sensor-based method for assessing spinal motion. Three raters each took three measurements of subjects' flexion/extension, right and left bending, and right and left rotation. Afterwards, one trial from each set of measurements was excluded. Correlations and the ICC (3,1) were used to assess intra-rater reliability, and ICC (3,2) was used to assess inter-rater reliability of the protocol. The baseline error of the sensor was 1.45°. Correlation and ICC (3,1) values for the protocol all exceeded 0.888, indicating high intra-rater reliability. ICC (3,2) values for the protocol exceed 0.87, indicating high inter-rater reliability. Our study presents both a paradigm for assessing the baseline error of inertial sensors and a protocol for assessing motion of the spine using an inertial sensing device.",
