plantar flexed and inverted
concurrent validity - Answer-Test performed and compared to the gold standard test
and results are matched.
Heart rate measured by peripheral pulses and compared with ECG readings
content validity - Answer-Test should measure specific problem of patient
Balance- use BERG
,Individual items/content on test have to be relevant to construct it is testing
construct validity - Answer-the extent to which variables measure what they are
supposed to measure
Gony-measures ROM and nothing else
Extent to what a tool actually measures a construct (test actually measures empathy,
which is hard to determine)
