Abstract
Background: Force sense is described as the ability to reproduce a desired level of strength. An adequate sensation of the muscular thumb effort allows us to be able to carry out activities of daily life. Objective: The primary objective of the present study was to evaluate the impact of a proprioceptive exercise program on the force sense for carpometacarpal joint. Methods: A total of 17 elderly women with a diagnosis of carpometacarpal joint osteoarthritis in their dominant hand participated in the study. Mean pinch force errors were measured at basal, 4, and 12 weeks of treatment. Results: Statistically significant differences in force sense testing scores after the proprioceptive exercise program were observed. Conclusion: The proprioceptive exercise program could improve precision on force sense of the thumb in patients with carpometacarpal joint osteoarthritis.
