0.82). For intra-rater agreement, raters presented high percentage values of agreement between the two measurements (88.9% to 92.5%). Intra-rater reliability for raters was substantial to almost perfect (k >0.77).
Conclusion: The intra- and inter-rater reliability and agreement of the SDT obtained by two raters was substantial to almost perfect among young men with FHRSP. Therefore, it seems that SDT is a simple method to distinguish normal and abnormal scapular position and motion in order to screen or assess before developing prevention programs.]]>

0.62 and CVI> 0.79). Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the whole test was 0.75. The questionnaire also had a high test-retest reliability including intra-class correlation coefficient) ICC (= 0.91 with 95% confidence interval.
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the "Assessment of actors' vocal hygiene knowledge” questionnaire has good validity and reliability for actors.]]>

0.05). Trunk bracing induced a little reduction of energy consumption and increased the gait efficiency of scoliotic patients.
Conclusion: The results of this research showed that there was no significant difference between the PCI and THBI of normal and scoliotic subjects. Bracing had no significant effect on gait efficiency of scoliotic patients (p >0.05).]]>

.73 - .96) for hip IR and moderate to good (ICC > .76 - .89) for ER. Similarly, smartphone intrarater reliability was good to excellent for IR (ICC > .81 - .96) and ER (ICC > .77 - .90). The validity of the Clinometer Smartphone Application™ when compared to the goniometer and had a very strong relationship for IR (r = .94 - .96) and ER (r = .84 - .89).
Conclusion: The results of this study suggest this application may be a valid and reliable alternative to the goniometer for clinicians when measuring active hip rotation in clinical practice.]]>
