研究目的
To examine the reliability of laser-assisted hindfoot alignment evaluation as an alternative to goniometer measurements.
研究成果
The study confirmed the high repeatability of HAML measurements, even by non-experts, suggesting its potential appropriateness for use in clinical practice settings. However, inter-rater reliability may need improvement through more detailed measurement instructions.
研究不足
The inter-rater reliability was only moderate, possibly due to differences in defining a point that bisected the posterior aspect of the medial and lateral posterior borders of the calcaneus. More detailed measurement instructions may be necessary to improve inter-rater reliability.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study developed a hindfoot alignment measurement method using a laser beam (HAML) and examined its reliability.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
12 healthy participants were included based on specific inclusion criteria.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A laser beam (Cross line laser Quigo; BOSCH Co. Ltd.) was used.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Hindfoot alignment was evaluated by projecting a vertical laser line from the ground up, and the degree of subtalar joint varus?valgus alignment was classified into seven grades.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The SPSS software package was used for statistical analyses, with the level of statistical significance set at p=0.01.
