Measurement of Forearm Rotation: An Evaluation of Two TechniquesFrom the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Glasgow Royal Infirmary
In order to assess the reproducibility of two standard techniques of measuring forearm rotational movements, three trained observers used each method on twenty healthy volunteers. Analysis of the result obtained revealed no statistical difference between either method but both were subject to wide variation between observers, amounting to plus or minus 15° for total forearm rotation. Comparison of individual values in forearm rotation should take account of observer error.
