ABSTRACT

A mensuração da amplitude de movimento de flexão da coluna lombar é uma prática clínica comum. Vários são os métodos para tais medidas, destacando-se entre elas duas ferramentas clínicas: o Inclinômetro Back Range of Motion II (BROM II) e a Régua Flexível. Métodos: O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar a confiabilidade entre-examinadores para as medidas de flexão da coluna lombar utilizando o BROM II e a Régua Flexível. Trinta e sete estudantes de Fisioterapia foram examinados num design teste-reteste duplo-cego Resultados: Os resultados mostraram confiabilidade moderada para as medidas com o BROM II [CCI (2,1) 0,71 (IC 95% 0,49-0,84) p<0,000] e pobre para a Régua Flexível [CCI(2,1) 0,37 (IC 95% 0,06-0,62) p<0,012]. Conclusão: Conclui-se que o BROM II apresentou confiabilidade suficiente para sua utilização na prática clínica.


The measurement of the flexion range of motion of the lumbar spine is a common practice in clinical settings. Many methods are used to carry out these measurements, such as the Back Range of Motion Inclinometer (BROMII) and the Flexible Ruler methods. Objective and Methods: The aim of this study was to analyze the interexaminer reliability for the measurement of the lumbar spine flexion by using the BROMII and the Flexible Ruler methods. Thirty-seven physical therapy students were recruited as volunteers and a double-blind test-retest study design was carried out. Results: The results showed moderate reliability of the BROMII measurements [ICC (2.1) 0.71 (95%CI 0.49-0.84) p<0.000]; however, the reliability of the Flexible Ruler measurements was poor [ICC(2.1) 0.37 (95%CI 0.06-0.62), p<0.012]. Conclusion: The BROM II presented sufficient reliability to be performed in clinical practice.
