Abstract
The protractor-based goniometer is the standard instrument used to measure finger range of motion (ROM). However, the method is often complicated to apply and places a burden on the investigator. Here, we developed a new method for finger ROM measurement using a smartphone. This study was performed to determine the reliability and convenience of this new method. The ROM in 1007 finger joints was measured by both the standard and new method and the data were analyzed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The smartphone ICC score was high (0.927), and the average measurement time per joint was 49% lower with the smartphone compared to the goniometer. The results indicated that the smartphone-based measurement method had the same reliability as the conventional goniometer, in addition to an excellent measurement time.
期刊介绍：
The purpose of the Journal of Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery is to serve as an international forum for plastic surgery, hand surgery and related research. Interest is focused on original articles on basic research and clinical evaluation.
The scope of the journal comprises:
• Articles concerning operative methods and follow-up studies
• Research articles on subjects related to plastic and hand surgery
• Articles on cranio-maxillofacial surgery, including cleft lip and palate surgery.
Extended issues are published occasionally, dealing with special topics such as microvascular surgery, craniofacial surgery, or burns. Supplements, usually doctoral theses, may also be published.
The journal is published for the Acta Chirurgica Scandinavica society and sponsored by the Key Foundation, Sweden.
The journal was previously published as Scandinavian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Hand Surgery.
