Abstract:
The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of range of motion measurement via smartphone applications. This literature review included 26 articles after the selection process. The validity and reliability analysis showed good mean results (ICC or r >0.83). Thus, in clinical practice, photographic, goniometric and inclinometric smartphone applications can be used to measure joint angle, but with caution for cervical, hip and shoulder motions.
