Measuring Humeral Torsion With Ultrasound Using a One-Person Technique is a Reliable and Valid Technique

An abstract of a study by Hannah et al determining if a one-person technique (1PT) is a reliable and valid alternative to the established two trained assessors for indirectly measuring humeral torsion (HT) using ultrasound is presented. The 1PT for measuring HT using ultrasound is a reliable and valid alternative to the 2PT. By reducing the number of testers involved, the 1PT may provide clinicians with a more efficient and practical means of obtaining this valuable clinical data.
