Measurement of scapular position / rotation Mackenzie TABdaiwi AH, Herrington L, CoolsA. The palpation meter (palm) is reliable for measuring scapular upward rotation in the coronal plane. International Journal of Physical Education, Sports and Health 2015; 2(2): 54-59. The objective of the study was to assess intra-session inter-rater reliability of the palpation meter (PALM) to assess scapular position in the coronal plane (= frontal plane). 2 examiners measured 20 scapula. Intratester-Reliability: excellent: 0.90 to 0.99 Intertester-Reliability: good: 0.74 to 0.88
