XClinic movement sensors are advanced devices designed to analyze movement patterns with high precision. The aim of this study was to validate wearable XClinic sensors for range of motion (ROM) in healthy subjects and obtain normative data. Participants were enrolled at the Sapienza University of Rome in 2024. All participants had to be healthy subjects aged between 18 and 65 years. Data on their demographics, employment and physical activity were collected. All the subjects were tested to assess the active ROM of their shoulder, hip, knee and ankle bilaterally. The same movements were tested using a goniometer to investigate validity, and SF-36 was administered. Fifty subjects were enrolled. The mean age was 28.2 (SD 10.8) years. For the left shoulder, construct validity showed statistically significant values for flexion, extension and extra-rotation, while for the right shoulder, construct validity showed statistically significant values for all movements except intra-rotation. The results concerning the right hip showed statistically significant values for flexion, extra-rotation, intra-rotation and adduction. The left hip showed statistically significant values for all movements except extension. Both the right and left knees showed statistically significant values for flexion. Both the right and left ankles showed statistically significant values for all movements. XClinic sensors offer a reliable and valid solution for the precise monitoring of the ROM of the shoulder and lower limb joints, making them an invaluable asset for clinicians and researchers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s25051331","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,21]],"date-time":"2025-02-21T10:12:11Z","timestamp":1740132731000},"page":"1331","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Innovative XClinic Tool: A Pilot Study Validating Its Precision in Measuring Range of Motion in Healthy Individuals"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9043-5686","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giovanni","family":"Galeoto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Neurosciences, Sapienza University of Rome, 00185 Rome, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Public Health and Infectious Diseases, Sapienza University of Rome, 00185 Rome, Italy"},{"name":"IRCCS Neuromed, Via Atinense, 18, 86077 Pozzilli, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0817-9714","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ilaria","family":"Ruotolo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Neurosciences, Sapienza University of Rome, 00185 Rome, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Public Health and Infectious Diseases, Sapienza University of Rome, 00185 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-8139-7849","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giovanni","family":"Sellitto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Neurosciences, Sapienza University of Rome, 00185 Rome, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Public Health and Infectious Diseases, Sapienza University of Rome, 00185 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emanuele","family":"Amadio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Neurosciences, Sapienza University of Rome, 00185 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Enrica","family":"Di Sipio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Euleria Health, Via delle Zigherane 4\/A, 38068 Trento, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3433-7122","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raffaele","family":"La Russa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Life, Health and Environmental Sciences, University of L\u2019Aquila, 67010 L\u2019Aquila, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3178-0797","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gianpietro","family":"Volonnino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomical, Histological, Forensic and Orthopaedical Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, 00185 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0358-7965","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paola","family":"Frati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomical, Histological, Forensic and Orthopaedical Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, 00185 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S189","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pmrj.2018.07.011","article-title":"Robotic and Sensor Technology for Upper Limb Rehabilitation","volume":"10","author":"Jakob","year":"2018","journal-title":"PM&R"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Payedimarri, A.B., Ratti, M., Rescinito, R., Vanhaecht, K., and Panella, M.
