Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to compare the validity and reliability of three Different methods used for wrist proprioception measurement in the healthy population. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

• Are the methods valid and reliable?
• Which method is superior? Wrist proprioception measurement of the participants is performed. Researchers compared the inclinometer, goniometer, and joint position sense goniometer to determine the superior method.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Active joint position sense measurement with the Goniometer

  The goniometric (1° scale increments) measurement was performed with the elbow positioned at 90° flexion and resting on the table, the forearm was in mid-pronation, and the fingers were relaxed. The movement axis of the mid-carpal and radiocarpal joints is defined as the pivot point of the goniometer to ensure a compatible measurement of wrist movement. The stable arm of the goniometer was placed parallel to the radius, and the mobile arm followed the third metacarpal bone.

• Active joint position sense measurement with the Joint Position Sense Goniometer

  The JPSG consists of two wooden boards fixed at an angle of 90°. The plate perpendicular to the ground has an opening that the wrist can go through. 0 to 180° angle values with 1° increments were drawn on the plate that parallels the floor. For the evaluation, the participant was asked to sit in front of the table with the trunk upright and the shoulder in the neutral position. The patient's forearm passed through the opening in the JPSG, and the wrist joint was adjusted to match the axis of movement. The forearm was positioned in mid-pronation, the wrist was positioned at 0° flexion/extension, and the forearm was in the neutral position. Participants were asked not to contact the plates during the measurements.

• Active joint position sense measurement with the Inclinometer

  Another tool used to evaluate wrist active joint position sense was the digital dual inclinometer. The limb position used during the inclinometer evaluations was the same as the position for the goniometer. One of the inclinometer sensors was placed on the 3rd metacarpal bone on the dorsal side of the hand. The other sensor was placed on the dorsal side of the forearm, perpendicular to the flexion/extension movement axis.
