Purpose To assess the intra-and inter-rater reliability of a standardized protocol for
measuring proximal tibia and distal femur bone mineral density (BMD) using dual-energy X-
ray absorptiometry (DXA). Methods Ten able-bodied individuals (7 males) participated in
this study. During one measurement session, the knee of each participant was scanned
twice by rater 1 using DXA. Both scans were analyzed twice by rater 1 as well as once by a
second rater. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), standard error of measurements …
