J. Connolly et.al [28] also propose a wearable rehab technology for automatic measurement of patients with arthritis. They put forward the ideas surrounding the development of an accurate hand measuring tool to assist medical clinicians and rheumatologists in the accurate measurement of finger and thumb movement of the human hand. Angle measuring instruments, tape measure and grip strength dynamometer are used to assess the joint range and function of a patient to determine their hand function. Self-questionnaires used determine a person’s ability to perform daily tasks are open to interpretation problems. Moreover, Emma Fortune et.al [29] propose a study for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this study, an algorithm to estimate the physical activity…
