Test-re-test reliability of the virtual planning test in individuals with traumatic brain injury.
OBJECTIVE
To determine test-re-test reliability of the VIrtual Planning Test (VIP) in a group of individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI).


METHODS
Single-group repeated measures design.


METHODS
Seventy-five individuals with TBI were administered the VIP, with 6-8 weeks between the two test sessions.


RESULTS
Test-re-test reliability on VIP scoring parameters--as measured by Pearson correlation coefficients--ranged from 0.341-0.855, with five of the seven scoring parameters exhibiting r > 0.6.


CONCLUSIONS
Based on the findings of the current study, the VIP has overall moderate test-re-test reliability when administered to individuals with TBI. Some VIP scoring parameters, i.e. Total correct/accuracy and Total absence, demonstrated high test-re-test reliability. Others, i.e. Planning time and Total wrong order, demonstrated low test-re-test reliability.
