    This study introduces a new method to measure hand and wrist involvement using four tests, including postural and photogrammetric assessments. This technique aids in evaluating conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Rheumatology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Assessing morpho-functional hand and wrist involvement is crucial for managing conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.
    • Existing methods may not fully capture the complex functional changes in the hands and wrists.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel, comprehensive method for quantifying morpho-functional hand and wrist involvement.
    • To establish a reliable tool for tracking disease progression and therapeutic effectiveness in patients.

    Main Methods:

    • The method integrates three postural tests (Praying Hands, Dorsum Opposed, Phalanges Opposed) to measure specific angles (alpha 1, alpha 2, alpha 3).
    • A photogrammetric test using a Chigot's plantiscope calculates a surface index (I4) based on illuminated area.

  • Mathematical formulas synthesize angle and surface measurements into indices (I1-I3, I4) and a general index (It).

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed method provides quantitative indices derived from postural and photogrammetric assessments.
    • Photographic documentation captures angles and surfaces for objective analysis.
    • The general index (It) offers a synthesized measure of hand and wrist morpho-functional status.

    Conclusions:

    • This method offers a suitable approach for measuring morpho-functional hand and wrist involvement.
    • It holds significant potential for evaluating the clinical course and therapeutic response in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
