Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aimed to develop an ultrasonography-guided real-time modular system and try to apply it to clinical hand therapy using.

This study was divided into two parts. The first part is an observational study design. The ultrasonography-guided real-time modular system will be developed and integrated, and its overall reliability and validity will be tested in this part. Once the software and hardware of the modular system has been established, numerous hand-related ultrasonography data will be collected for building an artificial intelligence model for detecting the anatomic structures in hand, evaluating the status of the tissues in hand.

The second part is an interventional study design. The clinical application of the modular system on hand injured patients is conducted, and the biofeedback mechanics will also be defined in the second part. The patients will be recruited into the research to receive both traditional rehabilitation and the one which combines with biofeedback training via the modular system. The effect of the traditional and biofeedback-added rehabilitation will be compared.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

System development: Validation for patients

No intervention. The patients will receive one time of MRI and three times of ultrasound evaluation on the injured area, each evaluaitons will be done by two to three days interval.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

System development: Building dataset from healthy subjects

No intervention. The healthy subjects will receive one time of ultrasound evaluation on the dominant hand, the different part and different axis in dominant hand will be assessed in types of images or films for building the dataset.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

System application: Understanding the recovery patterns in patients

No intervention. The patients will receive three times of ultrasound evaluation on the injured area and hand function assessments, each evaluaitons will be done by two weeks interval.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

System application: Biofeedback training

The program last for one month. In this program, the patients receive traditional rehabilitation protocol assigned from original hospital or therapist. Also, ultrasound evaluation and hand function assessment will be performed at pre-test, one follow-up test and post-test, which will be done with two weeks interval.

For this biofeedback training group, the therapist and patients will be asked to use the hint recommanded by modular system to assist the rehabilitation excepting the traditional routine at least two times a week.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Biofeedback training

Intervention Type OTHER

The target of additional biofeedback training is to provide hints which are related to the essential aspects during hand therapy such as the stress on the tissue and the distance of tendon gliding.

System application: Traditional training

The program last for one month. In this program, the patients receive traditional rehabilitation protocol assigned from original hospital or therapist. Also, ultrasound evaluation and hand function assessment will be performed at pre-test, one follow-up test and post-test, which will be done with two weeks interval.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
