Article Synopsis
- Brachial plexus birth injuries (BPBI) can lead to functional impairments affecting daily activities, prompting a study on shoulder measurements using different methods: physician estimates, goniometer by an OT, and motion capture.
- The study involved 26 patients averaging 9.9 years old, assessing shoulder movements with various techniques, revealing that while GH CBA measures showed good agreement, HT ER measures were significantly different across methods, indicating poor reliability.
- The findings point out that over 75% of external rotation scores by physicians were inaccurately classified compared to motion capture, suggesting that motion capture could provide more consistent and accurate evaluations.
