abstract = {Range of motion measurement is fundamental in the physical examination and functional
evaluation of di erent joints. WIMUTM is an inertial device that allows the analysis of joint motion
easily in real time. This study had a two-fold goal: (i) to evaluate the validity of WIMUTM on the
measurement of di erent angle positions, compared with a standard goniometer and 2D video-based
motion analysis software; and (ii) to evaluate the use of WIMUTM in the assessment of angulations in
a joint, specifically assessing the validity and reliability of WIMUTM on the measurement of ankle
dorsiflexion, compared to a standard goniometer and Kinovea. The intraclass correlation coe cient
and Pearson´s correlation coe cient (r) were performed to calculate the concurrent validity, and
Bland-Altman plots were performed to analyze agreement between measures. For the analysis of
reliability, both relative and absolute indices were used. The results showed excellent validity and
reliability of WIMUTM in the assessment of angle positions and ankle dorsiflexion. The current
findings conclude that WIMUTM is a valid and reliable instrument to measure angle and joint motions.
In short, WIMUTM provides a new clinical and sportive method of angle measurement.},
