Abstract
A video conference-based goniometer (VCBG) was developed by the PACE 2000 Foundation in 1998. This tool was created to measure range of motion (ROM) via video confernecing, thereby facilitating rehabilitation in a home setting. The purpose of this study was to: (1) examine the intratester and intertester reliability of the Inter-PACE 2000 VCBG in measuring active knee flexion and extension in healthy subject; and (2) to examine the convergence validity of the VCBG with the unicersal goniometer (UG) in measuring active knee ROM. The VCBG could be a valuable tool in assessing and monitoring patients' progress in remote areas via video confernecing, thereby eliminating unneccessary travel, saving both time and money.
