Abstract

Date Presented 4/17/2015

A virtual reality (VR) platform (Timocco) was found to be a reliable, valid, and enjoyable diagnostic tool in children aged 4 to 8 yr with typical motor development. The results may indicate that the VR platform can be used by clinicians as an assessment tool driven by evidence-based practice.
