Reliability and validity of goniometric iPhone applications for the assessment of active shoulder external rotation.

Conclusion: Both applications were found to be reliable and comparable to SG. A photo-based application potentially offers a superior method of measurement as visualizing the landmarks may be simplified in this format and it provides a record of measurement. Clinical relevance: Further study using patient populations may find the two studied applications are useful as an adjunct for clinical practice. PMID: 24654927 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
