Hips Don't Lie: Expert Opinions Guide the Validation of a Virtual 3D Pelvis Model for Use in Anatomy Education and Medical Training

Virtual three-dimensional (3D) anatomical models have become popular in the education of students in graduate and undergraduate-level anatomy courses, including anatomy and physiology. There is a need for more research on the effectiveness of these models on student learning, especially in anatomy and physiology, and on the validation of the models implemented in anatomy education. This study focuses on the development of a list of criteria for validating 3D models of the pelvis, using a four-round Delphi method. The Delphi method successfully confirmed the validity of the final list of pelvic criteria, each item with an item content validity index (I-CVI) = 0.83. The average scale content validity index (S-CVI/Ave) of the entire list was calculated to be rigorously valid (0.92). These valid pelvic criteria will be used in future studies to inform additions to an existing virtual 3D model of the pelvis and validate completed virtual 3D pelvic models.
