Abstract

Goniometry is a technique used to evaluate a range of motion (ROM) of the joints of the human body. The universal goniometer is the instrument most used by physiotherapists to evaluate an ROM. The Goniôapp application was developed with a function of a universal goniometer to evaluate an ROM. Objective: To evaluate whether the goniometry application for mobile devices (Android), Goniôapp, presents results for the universal goniometer in the evaluation of healthy WMD. Method: An applied research was conducted in the technology validation modality, in physiotherapy students of Ulbra Torres RS. Primeved was signed the TCLE, and collected the demographic data. After having done an assessment of the glenohumeral joint on the right side in 10 male students and 34 female, by three evaluators who evaluate as two measures measured, universal goniometer and Goniôapp. Results: A moderate inter-examiner reliability level was verified for extension, flexion, abduction and external rotation among all the evaluators. In the intra-examiner reliability assessment, the evaluator 1 and 2 presented a high level of reliability for the movement of extension and the other movements presented moderate level, however, only the evaluator 3 presented a high level for all the movements. Conclusion: At the end of the present research, a goniometry application for mobile device (Android) was concluded, Goniôapp presents results similar to the GU technique, both results had a moderate IC both intra and between evaluators.
