Brief description of study

This observational research study is being conducted to study movement biomechanics of thumb joint range of motion.

Detailed description of study

By doing this study, we hope to learn how we can best create a way to measure functional limitations for people with thumb arthritis using wearable sensors. These wearable sensors are used to measure thumb joint range of motion and will be used to measure range of motion in people with thumb arthritis. This study is also hoping to determine if range of motion of the thumb improves after thumb joint “denervation”, which is a surgery that aims to reduce pain and increase range of motion. 

Eligibility of study

  • Conditions: thumb arthritis, thumb CMC
