Measuring the total sagittal range of pelvic movement can serve as a reliable indicator of pelvic function. This study assessed the inter- and intra-examiner reliability of the Kinovea\u00ae version 0.9.5 and its agreement with the Qualisys System (3D motion capture) for measuring the total pelvic range of movement (ROM) in the sagittal plane, establishing Kinovea\u00ae\u2019s validity in standing and sitting positions with 45\u00b0 of hip flexion. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 13 asymptomatic participants. Pelvic kinematics were recorded using both systems. Pelvic posture, anterior and posterior tilt, and total pelvic ROM in the sagittal plane were analyzed. The Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) was used to evaluate reliability and validity. Additionally, the technical error of measurement (TEM), relative TEM, standard error of measurement, and minimal detectable change (MDC) were calculated to establish Kinovea\u00ae\u2019s accuracy. Kinovea\u00ae demonstrated excellent inter- and intra-examiner reliability for total pelvic ROM in standing and sitting measurements (ICC &gt; 0.90), with relative TEM values below 10% and MDC values between 1.60\u00b0and 11.20\u00b0. Validity showed good-to-excellent ICC values when comparing Kinovea\u00ae and the Qualisys System. This finding suggests that Kinovea\u00ae is a valid tool for obtaining reproducible measurements of total pelvic ROM in the sagittal plane in standing and sitting positions, demonstrating excellent-to-good inter- and intra-examiner reliability for pelvic kinematics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s25010250","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,6]],"date-time":"2025-01-06T06:43:04Z","timestamp":1736145784000},"page":"250","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Validity and Reliability of Kinovea\u00ae for Pelvic Kinematic Measurement in Standing Position and in Sitting Position with 45\u00b0 of Hip Flexion"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-7975-4594","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luc\u00eda","family":"Vicente-Pina","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Unidad de Investigaci\u00f3n en Fisioterapia, Spin off Centro Cl\u00ednico OMT-E Fisioterapia SLP, Universidad de Zaragoza, Domingo Miral s\/n, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0078-0663","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roc\u00edo","family":"S\u00e1nchez-Rodr\u00edguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unidad de Investigaci\u00f3n en Fisioterapia, Spin off Centro Cl\u00ednico OMT-E Fisioterapia SLP, Universidad de Zaragoza, Domingo Miral s\/n, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6604-2751","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Loreto","family":"Ferr\u00e1ndez-Laliena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unidad de Investigaci\u00f3n en Fisioterapia, Spin off Centro Cl\u00ednico OMT-E Fisioterapia SLP, Universidad de Zaragoza, Domingo Miral s\/n, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0053-5884","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jose","family":"Heredia-Jimenez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Education and Sports, Faculty of Education, Economy & Technology, University of Granada, 51001 Ceuta, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juli\u00e1n","family":"M\u00fcller-Thyssen-Uriarte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unidad de Investigaci\u00f3n en Fisioterapia, Spin off Centro Cl\u00ednico OMT-E Fisioterapia SLP, Universidad de Zaragoza, Domingo Miral s\/n, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0139-5174","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sof\u00eda","family":"Monti-Ballano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unidad de Investigaci\u00f3n en Fisioterapia, Spin off Centro Cl\u00ednico OMT-E Fisioterapia SLP, Universidad de Zaragoza, Domingo Miral s\/n, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7667-2178","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"C\u00e9sar","family":"Hidalgo-Garc\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unidad de Investigaci\u00f3n en Fisioterapia, Spin off Centro Cl\u00ednico OMT-E Fisioterapia SLP, Universidad de Zaragoza, Domingo Miral s\/n, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Miguel","family":"Tric\u00e1s-Moreno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unidad de Investigaci\u00f3n en Fisioterapia, Spin off Centro Cl\u00ednico OMT-E Fisioterapia SLP, Universidad de Zaragoza, Domingo Miral s\/n, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9930-3903","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda Orosia","family":"Lucha-L\u00f3pez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unidad de Investigaci\u00f3n en Fisioterapia, Spin off Centro Cl\u00ednico OMT-E Fisioterapia SLP, Universidad de Zaragoza, Domingo Miral s\/n, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"187","DOI":"10.1007\/s10195-016-0439-2","article-title":"Pelvic Posture and Kinematics in Femoroacetabular Impingement: A Systematic Review","volume":"18","author":"Pierannunzii","year":"2017","journal-title":"J.
