The Efficacy of a Forearm Rotation Orthosis for Persons with a Hemiparetic Arm
Objectives. To examine the efficacy of a dynamic forearm rotation orthosis used as the sole intervention and in combination with the Occupational Therapy Task-Oriented (OTTO) approach as well as to evaluate the efficacy of the OTTO approach on the functional performance of persons post-stroke with …

BIOMECHANICS OF THE DISTAL RADIOULNAR JOINT WITH A MALALIGNED DISTAL RADIUS
… employing simulated muscle loading to produce forearm rotation were conducted using an upper extremity joint simulator. The distal radial implant and ulnar load cell were implanted and an electromagnetic tracking device was used to record the motion of the radius and ulna. The kinematics and …

Redesigning a prosthesis for a golfer with transhumeral amputation
… that a prosthesis that enables wrist cock, forearm rotation, and slight elbow compliance would increase Gibson's golf performance.

Hand and elbow gesture recognition based on electromyography signal
… hand gestures were targeted, “hand contraction, forearm rotation, wrist extension and wrist flexion”. Thus, the EMG data that have been collected from 6 subjects are compared at a small demographic scale which is age and gender. Whereas, the EMG signals are collected using the software Lab-Chart …

Enhancement of non-motorized three degree of freedom assessment tool for stroke patients
… previous iRest design that consist of reaching, forearm rotation and grasping movements. Moreover, The iRest 2.0 is developed more compact and portable compare to the iRest in term of weight and dimension. Besides, a study with 5 healthy subject who that has no injury history of upper limb was …

Therapeutic Listening® and Bilateral Coordination in Typically Developing Children
… Screening (Backwards Tandem Walk and Rapid Forearm Rotation) were used for the pretest and posttest measures. Following the 15-minute interventions, one item from the BOT-2, Tapping Feet and Fingers, trended towards improvement in the Therapeutic Listening® group. Results of the Backwards …

The Study of Compensatory Motions While Using a Transradial Prosthesis
… transradial prosthesis that lacks motion of the forearm and wrist would cause significant compensatory motion of the shoulder, elbow and torso during the tasks. The second purpose of the study was to determine if the location of added mass would affect compensatory movements during these tasks. A …

Fracture of the distal radius - outcome, primary surgery and treatment of malunion
… system for fixation. We were able to improve forearm rotation, flexion/extension and radioulnar deviation from. Grip strength increased and DASH scores decreased substantially. The achieved radiographic correction was consistent over the first year but the resorption was slow and the time to …

Determining Upper Extremity Posture Using a Simplified Marker Configuration for Biomechanical Risk Evaluation during Tool Use
… great freedom of motion, which allows for large rotations in multiple directions. The Euler and quaternion methods, which are two commonly used methods for describing joint angles and body segment postures and movement, have great limitations when dealing with upper extremities. The planar …
