Software-based finger joint range of motion analysis: Current concepts, considerations, and challenges.

Abstract

Finger and wrist joint range of motion (ROM) measurement are key parameters of the hand examination and contribute to the diagnosis and monitoring of hand pathology. Technology-based ROM measurement tools, particularly software-based systems such as image analysis systems or augmented reality--based measurement, have potential to facilitate efficient ROM measurement in both virtual and in-person settings. The purpose of this paper is to provide some knowledge translation of available and prospec
