TY  - JOUR
AB  - Despite  being  functionally  important, dart  throwing motion is  difficult  to  assess accurately through goniometry. The objectives of this study were to describe a method for  reliably quantifying the dart  throwing  motion using  goniometric  measurements within  a  healthy  population. Wrist  kinematics  of  24  healthy  participants  were assessed using goniometry and optical motion tracking. Three wrist angles were measured at the starting  and  ending  points  of  the  motion:  flexion-extension,  radial-ulnar  deviation  and dart  throwing  motion angle.  The orientation of  the dart  throwing  motionplane relative to the flexion-extension axis ranged between 28° and 57° among the tested population. Plane  orientations derived  from  optical  motion capture differed from  those  calculated through  goniometry by  25°.  An  equation  to  correct  the estimation  of  the plane  from goniometry  measurements  was  derived.  This  was  applied  and  differences  in the orientation  of  the  plane were  reduced  to  non-significant levels,  enabling  dart  throwing motion to be measured using goniometry alone.
