Implication

Test–retest study examines the reliability of inertial sensors to measure scapular kinematics in individuals with shoulder pain, indicating effectiveness for clinical use.

Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the reliability of scapular kinematic measurements using inertial sensors in individuals with shoulder pain and scapular dyskinesis.
Test-retest design involving 52 adults with subacromial pain syndrome and scapular dyskinesis performing movements over 2 sessions
Five inertial sensors recorded scapular movements during arm elevation and lowering
Reliability assessed through intraclass correlation coefficients, standard error of measurement, and minimal detectable change.
Within-day reliability was excellent, with intraclass correlation coefficients between .91 and .97 for all angles.
Between-day reliability ranged from .63 to .89, with higher reliability for the dominant limb and lower elevation angles.
Measurement error (standard error of measurement) was low to moderate, with values from 0.67° to 4.55°.
