- Brief Summary
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.

Group Intervention Description System application: Biofeedback training 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.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in tissue characteristics - Ultrasonography platform - Hand Injuries Group (System development) - Baseline Baseline, 2-3 days after baseline, 4-5 days after baseline An ultrasonography platform and different installed modes will be used to gather the images from affected and unaffected hand of patients with hand injuries. These data will be collected three times in hand injuries group to know how will the tissue change between different time points.
Change from Baseline tissue characteristics at 2-3 days - Ultrasonography platform - Hand Injuries Group (System development) - 2-3 days after baseline Baseline, 2-3 days after baseline, 4-5 days after baseline An ultrasonography platform and different installed modes will be used to gather the images from affected and unaffected hand of patients with hand injuries. These data will be collected three times in hand injuries group to know how will the tissue change between different time points.
Change from Baseline tissue characteristics at 4-5 days - Ultrasonography platform - Hand Injuries Group (System development) - 4-5 days after baseline Baseline, 2-3 days after baseline, 4-5 days after baseline An ultrasonography platform and different installed modes will be used to gather the images from affected and unaffected hand of patients with hand injuries. These data will be collected three times in hand injuries group to know how will the tissue change between different time points.
Change in tissue characteristics - Ultrasonography platform - Hand Injuries Group (System application) - Baseline Baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 4 weeks after baseline An ultrasonography platform and different installed modes will be used to gather the images from affected and unaffected hand of patients with hand injuries. These data will be collected three times in hand injuries group to know how will the tissue change between different time points.
Change from Baseline joint ROM at 4 weeks - Goniometer - Hand Injuries Group (System application) - 4 weeks after baseline Baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 4 weeks after baseline The goniometer will be used to measure the range of motion (ROM) in the affected and affected finger.
Change from Baseline single digit force at 2 weeks - Force sensors - Hand Injuries Group (System application) - 2 weeks after baseline Baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 4 weeks after baseline A force sensor will be used to collect the single digit force data in affected and unaffected finger.
