The purpose of this study was to determine whether similar goniometric measurements of the upper extremity could be obtained in person and virtually. Goniometric measurements were compared to research the reliability of measurements obtained in person to virtual using four clinicians and 20 participants using upper extremity range of motion measurements. Results showed that virtual goniometric measurements may be used for clinical assessment.
