Background: Monitoring finger/wrist range of motion (ROM) is an important component of routine hand therapy after surgery. Telerehabilitation is a field that may potentially address various barriers of in-person hand therapy appointments. Therefore, the purpose of this scoping review is to identify telerehabilitation technologies that can be feasibly used in a patient’s home to objectively measure finger/wrist ROM. Methods: Following PRISMA-ScR guidelines for scoping reviews, we systematically searched MEDLINE and Embase electronic databases using alternative word spellings for the following core concepts: “wrist/hand,” “rehabilitation,” and “telemedicine.” Studies were imported into Covidence, and systematic two-level screening was done by two independent reviewers. Patient demographics and telerehabilitation information were extracted from the selected articles, and a narrative synthesis of the findings was done. Results: There were 28 studies included in this review, of which the telerehabilitation strategies included smartphone angle measurement applications, smartphone photography, videoconference, and wearable or external sensors. Most studies measured wrist ROM with the most accurate technologies being wearable and external sensors. For finger ROM, the smartphone angle application and photography had higher accuracy than sensor systems. The telerehabilitation strategies that had the highest level of usability in a remote setting were smartphone photographs and estimation during virtual appointments. Conclusions: Telerehabilitation can be used as a reliable substitute to in-person goniometer measurements, particularly the smartphone photography and motion sensor ROM measurement technologies. Future research should investigate how to improve the accuracy of motion sensor applications that are available on easy-to-access devices.

“…The functional aspect analyzed in this study was measuring the value of the maximum flexion angles while wearing the orthoses, as in Aranceta-Garza et al [22]. Several tools can be used for this purpose, including a manual goniometer or smartphones [25]. The approach adopted involved capturing photos of the hand and subsequently analyzing those using ImageJ (1.46r, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA) measuring tools, similar to the technique employed by Ge et al [26].…”

Exploring a Novel Material and Approach in 3D-Printed Wrist-Hand Orthoses

This article proposes the integration of two novel aspects into the production of 3D-printed customized wrist-hand orthoses. One aspect involves the material, particularly Colorfabb varioShore thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) filament with an active foaming agent, which allows adjusting the 3D-printed orthoses’ mechanical properties via process parameters such as printing temperature. Consequently, within the same printing process, by using a single extrusion nozzle, orthoses with varying stiffness levels can be produced, aiming at both immobilization rigidity and skin-comfortable softness. This capability is harnessed by 3D-printing the orthosis in a flat shape via material extrusion-based additive manufacturing, which represents the other novel aspect. Subsequently, the orthosis conforms to the user’s upper limb shape after secure attachment, or by thermoforming in the case of a bi-material solution. A dedicated design web app, which relies on key patient hand measurement input, is also proposed, differing from the 3D scanning and modeling approach that requires engineering expertise and 3D scan data processing. The evaluation of varioShore TPU orthoses with diverse designs was conducted considering printing time, cost, maximum flexion angle, comfort, and perceived wrist stability as criteria. As some of the produced TPU orthoses lacked the necessary stiffness around the wrist or did not properly fit the palm shape, bi-material orthoses including polylactic acid (PLA) inserts of varying sizes were 3D-printed and assessed, showing an improved stiffness around the wrist and a better hand shape conformity. The findings demonstrated the potential of this innovative approach in creating bi-material upper limb orthoses, capitalizing on various characteristics such as varioShore properties, PLA thermoforming capabilities, and the design flexibility provided by additive manufacturing technology.

Flossing bands are thick elastic bands that are wrapped around painful or limited range of motion joints and muscles for exercise, as opposed to Thera-Bands, which are direct band exercises [1]. It is effective in improving joint ROM by increasing fascial fluidity when performing muscle movements under compression, and the reperfusion of blood flow after the compression is removed increases catecholamines and growth hormones, which helps to improve muscle strength. The aim of these treatments is to increase mobility and strength, reduce pain and accelerate healing, and they are increasingly used in the field of physiotherapy [2].However, previous studies of flossing bands have shown mixed results. While some studies have shown positive effects on knee joint ROM and strength [3,4], others have reported improvements in performance but not strength, or no significant difference in joint ROM compared to foam rolling or stretching [2,5]. This discrepancy has prompted research into intervention
