Objectives: Aquatic therapy is a significant intervention method for both patients and healthy individuals. However, in clinicalpractice, quantitative measurements are rarely applied in aquatic therapy due to the disadvantages of submerging expensiveinstruments in water. In this study, we used readily available smartphones and armbands to measure leg segments andjoint angles during aquatic gait and evaluated the reliability of these measurements. Methods: Waterproof smartphones werestrapped to the trunk, thighs, and shanks of 19 healthy young adults using armbands. The angles of the trunk, thigh, andshank segments were measured during aquatic gait. The measurements were repeated 1 day later. The data were analyzed toobtain the angles of the hip and knee joints. Results: Measurement repeatability, calculated using the intraclass correlationcoefficient (ICC), was the highest for the shank segment range of motion (ROM) (first 46.79° ± 5.50°, second 50.12° ± 9.98°,ICC = 0.78). There was high agreement in trunk segment ROM (first 6.36° ± 1.42°, second 4.29° ± 1.83°, ICC = 0.73), thighsegment ROM (first 33.49° ± 5.18°, second 37.31° ± 8.70°, ICC = 0.62), and knee joint ROM (first 52.43° ± 11.26°, second62.19° ± 16.65°, ICC = 0.68) and fair agreement in hip joint ROM (first 34.60°±4.71°, second 37.80° ± 7.84°, ICC = 0.59). Conclusions: Smartphones can be used to reliably measure leg segments and joint angles during aquatic gait, providing asimpler method for obtaining these measurements and enabling the wider use of aquatic motion analysis in clinical practiceand research.
