摘要: The human hand is important for the performance of activities daily living which are directly related to quality life. Various conditions, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) can affect function and wrist. ability assess impairment in wrist by measuring range motion (ROM), essential development effective rehabilitation protocols. Currently clinical standard goniometer. In this study we explore feasibility reliability an optical sensor (Leap sensor) active hand/wrist ROM. We measured ROM 20 healthy adults with goniometer Leap sensor, order check agreement between two methods additionally, performed a test-retest 12 them, its reliability. results suggest low leap yet showing large decrease measurement time high when using later. Despite methods, believe that shows potential contribute protocols be used patients setting.
