초록
Tape measurement for evaluating edema is frequently used by clinicians. The primary purpose of this study is to determine the intertester and intratester reliability of tape measurement carried out by two physical therapists on lower extremities. Theintertester and intratester reliability of six anatomical landmarks measurements were determined in six healthy subjcets. The measurements were taken in five sessions by each tester. The intraclass correlation coefficients (2,1) were between .87and .99for intertester reliability. Intratester reliability was .93 and .99 for A tester and .82 and .99 for B tester. The average range of variation was .13 to .54 in six landmarks. The reliability of six volume measurements was very high. Theseresultssupport the use tape measurement as a reliable tool for measuring limb girth.
