“…However, goniometry is the current clinical standard, and there is a plethora of studies related to measurements, protocols and different goniometers [ 15 ]. Moreover, comparable studies evaluated new and existing sensors and measurement protocols against the goniometer, reporting promising results and significant reduction in measurement time, yet asking for further improvements in measurements protocols [ 24 , 27 , 33 ].…”

The human hand is important for the performance of activities of daily living which are directly related to quality of life. Various conditions, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) can affect the function of the human hand and wrist. The ability to assess the impairment in the hand and the wrist by measuring the range of motion (ROM), is essential for the development of effective rehabilitation protocols. Currently the clinical standard is the goniometer. In this study we explore the feasibility and reliability of an optical sensor (Leap motion sensor) in measuring active hand/wrist ROM. We measured the hand/wrist ROM of 20 healthy adults with the goniometer and the Leap motion sensor, in order to check the agreement between the two methods and additionally, we performed a test-retest of the Leap motion sensor with 12 of them, to assess its reliability. The results suggest low agreement between the goniometer and the leap motion sensor, yet showing a large decrease in measurement time and high reliability when using the later. Despite the low agreement between the two methods, we believe that the Leap motion sensor shows potential to contribute to the development of hand rehabilitation protocols and be used with patients in a clinical setting.

“…It has been indicated that due to internal constraints of hand angles estimation, the leap is not a promising sensory modality for clinical practice [ 24 ]. However, a recent study showed promising results for the finger MCP joints using the Leap motion sensor [ 27 ].…”

“…For instance, good to excellent concordance based on interclass correlation coefficient was identified for all fingers abduction, except for pinkie finger, and for metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint flexion of the medium finger. 18 Additionally, an accuracy of 85% was identified for MCP flexion and extension of all fingers moving at the same time, fingers neutral position, and wrist pronation and supination. 10 Also, an average difference of 5.73 degrees was identified for finger proximal interphalangeal (PIP) in the neutral position, thumb PIP flexion and radial abduction, and MCP flexion.…”

Advantages and Limitations of Leap Motion from a Developers', Physical Therapists', and Patients' Perspective

Background Physical rehabilitation exergames (PREGs) are suitable for motivating patients toward completing treatments. Leap Motion (LM) is a motion sensor that may be useful for developing PREGs targeted at hands and fingers rehabilitation. Therefore, knowing the advantages and limitations of LM is relevant to understand under which conditions this sensor may be suitable. Objective In this article, we present a qualitative study to identify the main advantages and limitations of LM for PREGs. Methods We collect data using interviews with a group of PREGs developers, physical therapy experts, and patients. We employ the thematic analysis method to analyze the collected data. Results We found that the advantages and limitations of LM are related to (1) the role as PREG development tool that enables hand movements detection, (2) the capability to be a mobile and easy-to-use capturing technology, and (3) the contribution to add value in rehabilitation therapy by motivating physical therapists and patients to use PREGs. Conclusion The analysis shows that LM is a suitable and cost-effective solution for developing usable PREGs for some hand and finger rehabilitation movements with a moderate development effort. However, the development maturity of LM poses limitations related to reliability and robustness, preventing the use of LM as a standalone physical rehabilitation tool. Our findings serve as guidelines for developers and physical therapists during the development and use of PREGs targeted at hands and fingers, guiding the decision-making process during feasibility analysis and design stages.
