[Subjects] We included 26 inpatients (52 legs). [Methods] The subjects were diagnosed with edema, and we verified the inter- and intra-rater reliabilities of the edema gauge using intraclass correlation coefficients. [Results] For the first and second measurement values and the measured values between the examiners, the intraclass correlation coefficients were high. [Conclusion] Therefore, our findings suggest that the edema gauge, which measures the depth of the surface imprint, has sufficient intra- and interrater reliabilities., Journal of Physical Therapy Science, 27(6), pp.1735-1738; 2015}, pages = {1735--1738}, title = {Reliability of a new practical evaluation method for pitting edema based on the depth of the surface imprint}, volume = {27}, year = {2015} }
