Objective

To investigate the reliability of mobility measurement and isometric strength measurement in David spine devices

Methods

Measurements were performed on three different days by an experienced tester. The time interval between each examination day was 72 hours. Tests were performed with David spine devices.

Outcome

The isometric strength measurements showed a strong correlation (r=0.94-0.99). Also the correlation in mobility measurements (in those movement direction where it was measured) was strong (r=0.90-0.98).
