An inexperienced therapist lacks the analysis of a patient's movement. In addition, the patient does not receive objective feedback from the therapist due to the visual subjective judgment. The aim is to provide a guide for in-depth rehabilitation therapy in virtual space by continuously tracking the user's wrist joint during Leap Motion Controller (LMC) activities and present the basic data to confirm steady therapy results in real-time. The conventional Box and Block Test (BBT) is commonly used in upper extremity rehabilitation therapy. It was modeled in proportion to the actual size and Auto Desk Inventor was used to perform the 3D modeling work. The created 3D object was then implemented in C # through Unity5.6.2p4 based on LMC. After obtaining a wrist joint motion value, the motion was analyzed by 3D graph. Healthy subjects (23 males and 25 females, n = 48) were enrolled in this study. There was no statistically significant counting difference between conventional BBT and system BBT. This indicates the possibility of effective diagnosis and evaluation of hemiplegic patients post-stroke. We can keep track of wrist joints, check real-time continuous feedback in the implemented virtual space, and provide the basic data for an LMC-based quantitative rehabilitation therapy guide.

Ganglion cysts are commonly found in areas of constant mechanical stress such as the joints and tendons of the wrist or hand as well as the anterior aspect of the ankle. In the knee, parameniscal cysts are often encountered secondary to meniscal tears or articular degeneration. Intra-articular ganglion cysts are uncommon and often arise from the cruciate ligaments and are found in the intercondylar notch.

Wearable motion capture gloves enable the precise analysis of hand and finger movements for a variety of uses, including robotic surgery, rehabilitation, and most commonly, virtual augmentation. However, many motion capture gloves restrict natural hand movement with a closed-palm design, including fabric over the palm and fingers. In order to alleviate slippage, improve comfort, reduce sizing issues, and eliminate movement restrictions, this paper presents a new low-cost data glove with an innovative open-palm and finger-free design.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) causes persistent synovitis and arthritis, resulting in joint deformity and destruction throughout the body. As RA medications have evolved over the past 30 years, the surgical indications and techniques for RA joint deformities have changed. The aim of this review article is to summarize the recent trend of surgery for rheumatoid hand/finger deformities in previous reports and to present our recent surgical methods and outcomes for these deformities.

This study evaluates the outcomes of arthroscopic triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) foveal reattachment using an inside-out suture passing through the TFCC at specific ulnocarpal anatomical landmarks to grasp the radioulnar ligaments. Thirty-eight patients with a mean age of 36 years (range 19-54), diagnosed with TFCC injury with distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability, underwent arthroscopic inside-out TFCC foveal reattachment using designated suture sites. At a mean follow-up of 32 months (range 26-44), pain score, range of motion, grip strength, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score, and Modified Mayo Wrist Score all showed significant improvement after surgery.

Wrist movements play a crucial role in upper-limb motor tasks. As prosthetic and robotic hand technologies have evolved, increasing attention has been focused on replicating the anatomy and functionality of the wrist. Closely imitating the biomechanics and movement mechanisms of human limbs is expected to enhance the overall performance of bionic robotic hands.
