(III) With a belt fastened, the iPhone® was positioned upright just above the iliac crest, (IV) the inclination of the inclinometer was 0°; (V) The inclinometer's 0° point was set as the initial position. (VI) The individual was passively guided by the assessor to a 30° flexion within the range of 0 to 30°; (VII) the subject was to memorize this position for 10 s; (VIII) the subject actively returned to the initial position. (IX) Subsequently, the participant was required to actively replicate the position three times."
