Analyzing the multidimensional motion of the wrist is crucial for understanding our functional movement. Several studies have shown that numerous activities of daily livings (ADLs) are performed using an oblique plane of wrist motion from radial-extension to ulnar-flexion, named the Dart Throwing Motion (DTM) plane. To the best of our knowledge, the DTM plane angle performed during ADLs has not been compared between different heights (e.g. table, shoulder and head height), as is common when performing day-to-day tasks. In this study, we compared DTM plane angles when performing different ADLs at three different heights and examined the relationship between DTM plane angles and limb position. We found that height had a significant effect on the DTM plane angles – the mean DTM plane angle was greater at the lower level compared to the mid and higher levels. A significant effect of shoulder orientation on mean DTM plane angles was shown in the sagittal and coronal planes. Our findings support the importance of training daily tasks at different heights during rehabilitation following wrist injuries, in order to explore a large range of DTM angles, to accommodate needs of common ADLs. dart throwing motion (DTM) heights kinematics seated activities of daily living (ADL) upper extremity wrist rehabilitation PMID:31359843 exported from refbase (https://refbase.nfshost.com/show.php?record=100), last updated on Tue, 10 Sep 2019 15:00:48 +0000 text http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31359843 https://refbase.nfshost.com/files/kaufman-cohen/2019/100_Kaufman-Cohen_etal2019.pdf http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31359843 10.1080/00222895.2019.1645638 31359843 Kaufman-Cohen_etal2019 2019 continuing periodical academic journal 1 10 0022-2895 1
