Reliability of upper and lower extremity anthropometric measurements and the effect on tissue mass predictions.

Abstract:

:Accurate modeling of soft tissue motion effects relative to bone during impact requires knowledge of the mass of soft and rigid tissues in living people. Holmes et al., [2005. Predicting in vivo soft tissue masses of the lower extremity using segment anthropometric measures and DXA. Journal of Applied Biomechanics, 21, 371-382] developed and validated regression equations to predict the individual tissue masses of lower extremity segments of young healthy adults, based on simple anthropometric measurements. However, the reliability of these measurements and the effect on predicted tissue mass estimates from the equations has yet to be determined. In the current study, two measurers were responsible for collecting two sets of unilateral measurements (25 male and 25 female subjects) for the right upper and lower extremities. These included 6 lengths, 6 circumferences, 8 breadths, and 4 skinfold thicknesses. Significant differences were found between measurers and between sexes, but these differences were relatively small in general (75-80% of between-measurer differences were <1cm). Within-measurer measurement differences were smaller and more consistent than those between measurers in most cases. Good to excellent reliability was demonstrated for all measurement types, with intra-class correlation coefficients of 0.79, 0.86, 0.85 and 0.86 for lengths, circumferences, breadth and skinfolds, respectively. Predicted tissue mass magnitudes were moderately affected by the measurement differences. The maximum mean errors between measurers ranged from 3.2% to 24.2% for bone mineral content and fat mass, for the leg and foot, and the leg segments, respectively.
