Abstract
Comparison of the upper limbs during natural kinematic motions is necessary for early detection of musculoskeletal imbalance between ipsilateral and contralateral sides in natural settings. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the feasibility of a novice set of wrist-worn devices designed to assess and compare the dual kinematic motions of the upper limbs during lateral raises. The test-retest and the golden standard and novice device result comparisons were conducted for feasibility assessment of the novice set of devices. Pearson correlation coefficients between 0.65 and 0.88 (P<0.01) and effect sizes between 0.02 and 0.42 indicated feasible application of the novice devices. Considering correlation coefficient of 0.65 between the left and right upper limbs, the results show applicable feasibility of the novice device during lateral raises. In conclusion, the novice set of devices for comparing dual upper limb motions may be applied to assessing and comparing dual upper limb motions for limb motion comparisons and early detection of dysfunctional movements between the limbs.
