The NPC distance was measured consecutively with the patient and clinician controlling the fixation target. The differences between patient (PT) and clinician (CLIN) measurements and cases exceeding cutoffs (ie,\u00a0\u22655\u00a0cm) were examined with a series of <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic> tests and chi-square tests, respectively. Intraclass correlation coefficients and unbiased estimate of reliability were performed. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> The NPC measurements were similar, <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>(761) = \u2212.26, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .79, between the PT (mean\u2009=\u20093.52, SD\u2009=\u20093.77\u00a0cm) and CLIN (mean\u2009=\u20093.54, SD\u2009=\u20093.97\u00a0cm) conditions.
