Although several studies have reported on the validity of IMUs compared to the gold standard (optical motion capture system, OMC), a quantitative summary of the accuracy of IMUs in measuring RoM of upper limb joints is still lacking. Thus, the primary objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the concurrent validity of IMUs for measuring RoM of the upper extremity in adults. Fifty-one articles were included in the systematic review, and data from 16 were pooled for meta-analysis. Concurrent validity is excellent for shoulder flexion\u2013extension (Pearson\u2019s <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.969 [0.935, 0.986], ICC\u00a0=\u00a00.935 [0.749, 0.984], mean difference\u00a0=\u00a0\u22123.19 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.55)), elbow flexion\u2013extension (Pearson\u2019s <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.954 [0.929, 0.970], ICC\u00a0=\u00a00.929 [0.814, 0.974], mean difference\u00a0=\u00a010.61 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.36)), wrist flexion\u2013extension (Pearson\u2019s <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.974 [0.945, 0.988], mean difference\u00a0=\u00a0\u22124.20 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.58)), good to excellent for shoulder abduction\u2013adduction (Pearson\u2019s <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.919 [0.848, 0.957], ICC\u00a0=\u00a00.840 [0.430, 0.963], mean difference\u00a0=\u00a0\u22127.10 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.50)), and elbow pronation\u2013supination (Pearson\u2019s <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.966 [0.939, 0.981], ICC\u00a0=\u00a00.821 [0.696, 0.900]). There are some inconsistent results for shoulder internal\u2013external rotation (Pearson\u2019s <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.939 [0.894, 0.965], mean difference\u00a0=\u00a0\u22129.13 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.0001)). In conclusion, the results support IMU as a viable instrument for measuring RoM of upper extremity, but for some specific joint movements, such as shoulder rotation and wrist ulnar-radial deviation, IMU measurements need to be used with caution.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/wtc.2024.6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,4]],"date-time":"2024-10-04T06:56:52Z","timestamp":1728025012000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Concurrent
