Motion Analysis of the Myelopathy Hand: New Insight Into the Classical Sign

NCT03304236 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 10

Last updated 2021-10-05

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study aims to quantify the clumsiness and decreased dexterity seen in the grip and release test using a simple glove with sensors that can quantify the abnormal motion of this classical sign. This new tool will give a mechanistic insight into the myelopathy. The findings of this study will also form the basis of a prospective longitudinal study with clinical and radiological evaluation to compare the prognosticating value of this new information in clinical practice.

Conditions

  • Cervical Myelopathy

Interventions

DEVICE

Myelopathy Hand

Patients will undergo radiological and clinical examination at the Duchess of Kent Children Hospital. Patients will be required to put on a pair of hand gloves with 18 IMUs located on specific bony landmarks (distal phalanges of fingers, proximal phalanges of index fingers and thumbs, dorsum of the hands and bilateral wrists)
