Objectives: Assessment of range of motion (ROM) in Physical therapy field is essential for both normal and abnormal subjects, with modern innovations in technology. The physical therapist becomes in need to use available, cheap, quick and easily applicable software for measuring joint angle ROM. This study was conducted to investigate the validity of Kinovea software for measuring shoulders joint ROM in patients with Hemiplegia. Methods: Shoulder joint (flexion, abduction, and external rotation) ROM was measured in thirty patients with Hemiplegia from both genders, their ages ranged from 50 to 65 years. The digital goniometer & Kinovea software analysis was used to measure shoulder ROM. The measurement was one time from supine position for every subject. Results: A Pearson correlation was run to determine relation between Kinovea software and digital goniometer to measure shoulder flexion, abduction and external rotation with P- value (0.001, 0.001 and 0.002 respectively). Conclusion: This study showed a high validity of kinovea software in measuring shoulder joint ROM in patients with Hemiplegia.
