Table 1 Kinematic parameters

From: Minimal detectable difference of the finger and wrist range of motion: comparison of goniometry and 3D motion analysis

Parameter

Abbreviation

Description/formula

Measurement parameter-determined for each subject in measurement session 1 + 2 (test-retest)

 Range of motion

ROMG1/G2, ROMV1/V2

Maximum range of motion measured within a method and session

 Test-retest difference

DIFFG/DIFFV

Individual test-retest difference of ROM: DIFFG = ROMG1 − ROMG2/DIFFV = ROMV1 − ROMV2

Test-retest and repeatability parameter—between test and retest within the same method over all subjects

 Mean difference

meanDG/meanDV

Mean DIFFG/DIFFV

 Standard deviation of the difference

SDDG/SDDV

Standard deviation of DIFFG/DIFFV

 Standard error of measurement

SEMG/SEMV

Estimated measurement precision according to de Vet24: SEM = SDD/√2

 Minimal detectable difference

MDDG/MDDV

MDD = 1.96 × SDD

 % within 5° or 10°

PDG < 5° or < 10°/PDV < 5° or < 10°

Percentage of subjects with an absolute |DIFFG|/|DIFFV| smaller than 5° or 10°

 Intraclass correlation coefficient

ICCG/ICCV

Intraclass correlation coefficient (3,1) of the test-retest measurement of the ROM

Method comparison—between measurement methods

 Mean ROM

MeanromG/MeanromV

Mean ROM of test and retest of each subjects averaged over all subjects

 Standard deviation of ROM

SDromG/SDromV

Standard deviation of MeanromG/MeanromV
