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.
