| Abstract: | The measurement of wrist passive ranges of motion (ROMs) can provide insight into improvements and allow for effective monitoring during a rehabilitation program. Compared with conventional methods, this study proposed a new robotic assessment technique for measuring passive ROMs of the wrist. The robotic system has a reconfigurable handle structure that allows for multi-dimensional applications of wrist motions. The assessment reliability of this robotic system was analysed on 11 subjects for measuring wrist extension/flexion and radial/ulnar deviation. Preliminary data demonstrated its potential with intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC2,1) all greater than 0.857 and standard error of measurement (SEM) less than 3.38°. Future work will focus on the standardization of the assessment protocol of this robotic system for assessment purposes, paving the way for its clinical application. |
