P 106 - Intra- and inter-operator reliability of a novel hand protocol during grip movement in healthy subjects

Hand movement is hard to analyse because of the number of bones, joints and degrees of freedom (24 DoFs). Quantitative and qualitative measures of human movement can be two important features for discriminating healthy and pathological conditions, for expressing clinically changes in subjects' functional state and for helping in the decision making within clinical setting. Clinical scales are the most frequently used instruments for the upper extremity functional assessment [1]. Currently there are no methods sufficiently accurate that analyze the hand mobility in clinical practice.
