Abstract
Background Real-time ultrasound (RTUS) has been suggested as a reliable measure of acromiohumeral distance. However, to date, no vigorous assessment and reporting of inter-rater reliability of this method has been performed with the shoulder in a neutral position or with active and passive arm abduction. Objective To assess intrasession inter-rater reliability of using RTUS to measure acromiohumeral distance with the shoulder in a neutral position and with 60° active and passive abduction. Study Design Inter-rater intrasession reliability of repeated measures. Setting Human performance laboratory. Participants Twenty persons (12 male and 8 female) with an average age of 29.86 years (standard deviation, 7.8). Method In an inter-rater, intrasession study, RTUS was used to measure the acromiohumeral distance with the shoulder in a neutral position and with 60° of both active and passive abduction. Main Outcome Measure Acromiohumeral distance. Results Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC)2.1 scores ranged between 0.65-0.88 (standard error of the mean = 0.81-1.2 mm and minimal detectable differences with 95% confidence = 2.2-2.3 mm) for inter-rater intrasession reliability. Conclusion RTUS was found to have fair to good inter-rater reliability as a tool to measure acromiohumeral distance with the shoulder in a neutral position and with 60° of both active and passive arm abduction.
