Accuracy of Wearable Sensor Technology in Hand Goniometry: A Systematic Review.
Wearable devices and sensor technology provide objective, unbiased range of motion measurements that help health care professionals overcome the hindrances of protractor-based goniometry. This review aims to analyze the accuracy of existing wearable sensor technologies for hand range of motion measurement and identify the most accurate one. ⋯ Gloves using inertial sensors were the most accurate. Future studies should use different comparison techniques, such as infrared camera-based goniometry or virtual motion tracking, to evaluate the performance of wearable devices.
