Letter to the Editor: “The concurrent validity and reliability of virtual reality to measure shoulder flexion and scaption range of motion”
I read the psychometric research by Dejaco et al. with great interest entitled “The concurrent validity and reliability of virtual reality to measure shoulder flexion and scaption range of motion” [1]. The authors focused on the clinometric analysis of virtual reality (VR)-based active range of motion measurement. As a result of the study, although VR-based shoulder active range of motion measurement was found to be valid and reliable, the wide confidence interval limit was pointed out in the analysis in terms of the agreement.
