About this trial

This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Dr. Goniometer application for measuring elbow flexion by comparing it with a manual goniometer. Conducted at Beykent University, the study will include 60 participants without upper extremity issues. Measurements will be taken on the dominant arm using both a manual goniometer and Dr. Goniometer, each repeated twice. Dr. Goniometer measurements will be performed twice by two different evaluators. Validity will be assessed using the Pearson correlation coefficient, while reliability will be evaluated with ICC and SEM. Measurement differences will be analyzed using a paired t-test. The results will contribute to determining the clinical applicability of the Dr. Goniometer application.

Treatments tested in this trial

Dr. Goniometer Application
Other intervention
The Dr. Goniometer application is a digital tool used for measuring elbow flexion range of motion (ROM). In this study, participants' elbow flexion ROM will be assessed using both the Dr. Goniometer application and a manual goniometer. Measurements will be taken twice by two different raters to evaluate the validity and reliability of the digital application compared to the manual goniometer.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

Validity and Reliability of Dr. Goniometer in Elbow Flexion Measurements

Comparison of elbow flexion range of motion measurements obtained using the Dr. Goniometer application and a universal goniometer to assess validity and reliability. Measurements will be taken by three independent raters, and intra-rater and inter-rater reliability will be analyzed using ICC and SEM. Pearson correlation will be used to determine validity.
