Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were used to assess agreement, and Bland-Altman analyses evaluated measurement bias.ResultsResults showed excellent to good agreement between the HALO™ and CROM™ for most movements (ICC = 0.880 to 0.994), with flexion, extension, and left rotation demonstrating excellent reliability (ICC > 0.9).
