Brief Summary

The 6 Minute Pegboard and Ring Test is a test applicable to the upper extremities. The upper extremity plays an important role in activities of daily living, especially in tasks related to reaching, grasping and holding objects. Various activities of daily living, such as combing hair, brushing teeth and picking up objects, require supported or unsupported upper limb activity. Therefore, evaluation of upper extremity function is important. In addition, it is a simple test, it is also seen as a game, its application is functional, and there is no need for expensive equipment. Its validity and reliability have been demonstrated only for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and healthy adults. In addition, to the best of our knowledge, the suitability of this test in a virtual environment has not been evaluated in the literature. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to examine the applicability of this test in a virtual environment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• 6 Minute Pegboard and Ring Test

  The 6-minute pegboard and ring test is used to assess upper extremity functional capacity. The patient sat in front of a perforated board with bottom pegs at shoulder level. The upper pegs are placed in the hole 20 cm above the lower pegs. 10 rings of the same size are placed on the lower pegs. The patient is asked to move as many rings as possible from the lower pegs to the upper pegs and vice versa within a 6-minute period. Pulse, blood pressure, SpO₂, dyspnea and arm fatigue detection are recorded before/after each test. Before the actual test, patients are allowed to move up and down the rings in a cycle to become familiar with the testing procedure. If the patient wants to rest during the test, he is allowed, but the stopwatch is not stopped. During the test, standard encouraging phrases are said to the patient at the end of each minute.

  A total of one measurements will be made at 1-week
