Validity and Reliability of 6-minute Pegboard and Ring Test

Sponsor: Istinye University

Summary

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is a severe neurological condition that occurs as a result of traumatic or non-traumatic causes and results in motor, sensory, and/or autonomic dysfunction. The daily life of individuals with SCI often consists of low activity levels, which can cause loss of physical condition. Therefore, the participation of individuals with SCI in exercise is necessary to improve cardiovascular health and function, as well as to increase life expectancy and quality. Determining the strength, endurance, and exercise capacity of the upper extremities in individuals with SCI is an important issue in the management of SCI. One of the tests that serves this purpose is the six-minute pegboard and ring test (6PBRT). Since 6PBRT is used in clinical and research applications in individuals with SCI, it is important to know its validity and reliability. This study aims to investigate the validity and reliability of 6PBRT in individuals with SCI.
