The Relationship of Spine Posture and Mobility With Upper Extremity Functions in Parkinson's Patients

This device is an electronic computer-aided measuring december that measures the range of motion of the spine, evaluates the angle and shape of the spine in the sagittal and frontal planes. The device provides data to the computer via Bluetooth, and the measured curvatures are displayed on the computer screen. The method has no medical risks or dangers. The device has two rotating wheels that follow the spinous protrusions of the spine, and the distance and angle measurements are transferred from the device to the computer.

The nine-hole peg test is a simple, fast and manual skill test that has been proven to be valid and reliable in measuring upper limb function in Parkinson's patients. While the patient is sitting, he is asked to insert nine sticks into the holes of the test box with nine holes one by one as fast as possible and remove them back when he is finished
