KINEMATICS OF THE INTACT WRIST DURING REAL-WORLD ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING RELEVANT TO PERSONS WITH UPPER LIMB ABSENCE IN LOW-AND-MIDDLE-INCOME-SETTINGS, TO INFORM THE DESIGN OF A PASSIVE WRIST PROSTHESIS
REFNo: SIR292ES

To determine how the DoF(s) relate to each other during the performance of ADLs (whether a change in one DoF leads to a proportional change in another).,To explore the wrist orientations at key positions during the performance of ADLs.,To determine which wrist DoF (s) are commonly involved during the performance of ADLs of relevance to persons with ULA in LMIS and the range of motion associated with each. ,The general objective of this study is to capture the kinematics of the healthy human wrist and forearm during the performance of ADLs relevant to PWULA in LMIS. The kinematics will guide a design specification for a functional passive wrist prosthesis suitable for these settings,
