Background. Motion analysis systems have been widely used in orthopedics and rehabilitation for diagnostics, patient monitoring and outcome evaluation purposes. Since Microsoft Azure Kinect Developer Kit (DK) had been released, only a few studies were published concerning its usage. However, it has not been used for wrist motion assessments, even though the use of standardized examinations with known reliability, validity and responsiveness remains a constant challenge.Objectives. This study aimed to examine the reliability of hand and forearm range of motion (ROM) measurements recorded using new software utilizing the Microsoft Azure Kinect DK. Materials and methods.Twenty-eight healthy males and 28 healthy females participated in measurements of active ROM for wrist extension, wrist flexion, radial deviation, ulnar deviation, and forearm supination and pronation on 3 separate occasions. Sessions 1 and 2 were carried out on the same day with a 90-minute rest period between each session, while the 3 rd session was conducted a week later. Data were recorded simultaneously in both limbs using a custom-made software developed by a software development company (Oleksy Medical & Sports Sciences, Łańcut, Poland) for the purposes of the present study using Microsoft Azure Kinect DK. The assessment of intra-day and inter-day reliability was based on intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) calculations and interpreted based on commonly used guidelines.Results. In the group of males, the lowest ICC was 0.846 for intra-day comparisons and 0.816 for inter-day analyses. In the female group, the lowest ICC for intra-day comparisons was 0.826 and exceeded 0.833 for inter-day comparisons.Conclusions. The developed software using Microsoft Azure Kinect DK demonstrated high reliability in measuring wrist and forearm active ROM. These promising results support the use of Microsoft Azure Kinect DK in a clinical capacity as a potential hand assessment and rehabilitation tool.

“…[23][24][25][26] This was also confirmed in our research. [27][28][29] Despite the existence of the LARS technique since the 1990s, it is a rarely performed procedure compared to natural transplants. There are also few long-term postoperative follow-ups.…”

Background. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is the prevailing procedure in cases of ACL rupture.Objectives. To assess the long-term safety of implementing a synthetic ligament with the Ligament Advanced Reinforcement System (LARS) in primary reconstruction of the ACL. Materials and methods.The retrospective analysis involved 403 patients who had undergone ACL reconstruction with the same results in clinical and functional assessments. The patients comprised 2 groups. In group I, a LARS graft was implemented, while in group II, an autograft was used. The Lachman test, anterior drawer test, pivot-shift test, Lysholm scale, IKDC 2000, pain posited to be experienced, the possibility of postoperative complications, the time required to return to work, and revision surgery were all considered and analyzed.Results. The visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score in group I ranged from 37.34 ±8.22 mm on day 3 to 17.21 ±5.45 mm on day 28. In group II, it ranged from 64.72 ±10.20 mm on day 3 (p < 0.05) to 18.67 ±6.57 mm on day 28. The period of time taken to return to office work in group I was 7.04 ±1.82 weeks, and 9.21 ±1.75 weeks in group II (p < 0.05). The time taken to return to physical work in group I was 20.50 ±2.91 weeks, and 21. 12 ±3. 12 weeks in group II. Postoperative scar and local complications were statistically less prominent in group I. The cost and number of revision surgeries were greater in the first group.Conclusions. Reconstruction of the ACL using a synthetic graft such as LARS yields similar results to an autograft in a cohort follow-up. Long-term results show a large number of revision surgeries when LARS is used. This method should be used with caution.

“…Results from (Ferrari et al 2008) also demonstrate four out of five protocols estimating knee external rotation in swing, with only one protocol measuring internal rotation. Further, (Czamara et al 2015) measured four degrees of knee external rotation at the point of maximal knee flexion in swing. This supports the results from (Ferrari et al 2008) and the results from the SCM model in the current study which demonstrated external rotation in swing.…”

Motion analysis (MA) hardware has recently become more accessible; however, protocols have not developed in conjunction. Routine clinical assessment mostly relies on unreliable observational methods. This study aimed to develop an MA protocol for routine clinical use and compare kinematics and reliability to the gold-standard. Ten participants completed 10 over ground walks with a comprehensive marker set (bespoke and gold-standard). Inter/intra-assessor reliability was also compared. Results demonstrated comparable kinematics. Reliability of the bespoke model was lower than the gold standard but higher than observational methods. The bespoke model can be recommended for routine clinical use to assess patient progress and function.
