Validity and reliability of a finger training tool for assessing metacarpal phalangeal joint ranges of motion in asymptomatic participants.

ABSTRACT: This pilot study aims to evaluate concurrent validity using the goniometer as a reference tool and test-retest reliability of flexion of metacarpal phalangeal joint (MCP) measurements taken from a finger training device (air-guitar system) in healthy participants. There were ten self -reported asymptomatic participants recruited to test the devices. The measurements of all metacarpophangeal joints of the dominant hands were conducted using a finger goniometer and the air-guitar system. Two measuring sessions were conducted on the same day. The concurrent validity of the air-guitar indicated by strong concordance correlation coefficient (0.62-0.90) with the goniometer and mean difference (approximately 1°) between the two instruments are well below the limit of 5°. The test-retest reliabili
