Objective: To examine the validity of a Telemedicine-Based for measuring elbow range of motion
Material and Method: Cross-sectional descriptive studies in elbow flexion-extension and forearm pronation-supination were measured on 30 subjects.
Results: The intraclass correlation (ICC) and the percentage of degree of difference within fifteen and ten degrees between measurements obtained by telemedicine-based technique(VDO-clip) and clinical goniometry were found high percentage of correlation in flexion and extension. Pronation and supination, although not as good as flexion and extension, still showed some degree of correlation.
Conclusion: Remote range of motion assessment using telemedicine-based is technically feasible.
