Automatic detection of abnormal hand gestures in patients with radial, ulnar, or median nerve injury using hand pose estimation.

Our study provides a helpful tool for detecting abnormal gestures in radial, ulnar, or median nerve injuries with satisfying accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. It confirms that hand pose estimation could automatically analyze and detect the abnormalities from images of these patients. It has the potential to be a simple and convenient screening method for primary healthcare and telemedicine application.
