Brief Summary

Development of reliable and objective evaluation methods is required for natural upper-extremity tasks. Three-dimensional imaging measurement techniques are a powerful tool for quantitative assessment of multijoint movements.

Conditions

Hand Injuries

Keywords

Kinematics; Activity of Daily living; 3D motion analysis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Joint angle of finger and wrist (Vicon)

  Position of the Skin markers be measured with the Vicon cameras and the Joint angles will be calculated with matlab program. Maximum range of motion will be compared between first and second measurement.

  36 months

• Joint angle of finger and wrist (Goniometer)

  Maximum range of motion will be compared between first and second measurement

  36 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Objective functional parameters: - daily activities: open a bottle, open a glass, type 3 words, write 3 words, turn a key, pick up small object, move heavy object (1/3kg), dart-throwing motion

  36 months

• Subjective functional parameters: - Mayo Wrist Score - Krimmer Wrist Score - Short Version of the Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire (QuickDASH)

  36 months

Study Arms (4)

20 healthy volunteers

Dupuytren disease

10 patients dupuytren disease

Tendon pathology

10 patients with tendon pathology

wrist osteoarthritis

10 patients with wrist osteoarthritis

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

The study population consists of healty persons, patients with tendon pathologies, arthrosis and dupuytren disease. In the future the new findings should assist the decision of surgical procedures.

You may qualify if:

• Volunteers of 20 healthy, right dominant hands
• patients with tendon pathologies
• patients with Dupuytren disease
• patients with osteoarthritis of the wrist
• Patients older than 18 years
• Patient willing and able to give written informed consent to participate in the study

You may not qualify if:

• Inflammatory disease (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis)
• Pregnant women
• German language barrier to complete the questionnaires
• Any disease process that would preclude accurate evaluation (e.g. neuromuscular, psychiatric or metabolic disorder)
• Legal incompetence
• Participation in any other medical device or medicinal product study within the previous months that could influence the results of the present study
