Active wrist joint position sense (AWJPS) test offers variable reliability levels and scores among multiple wrist angles and tester-experience levels

This was an observational study, which recruited 30 healthy consenting participants based on specific inclusion (Males or females 18-65 years; intact functional motion; no dominant-arm pain or numbness; and English-speaking capacity) and exclusion (wrist trauma in last 6 months, blindness, and impaired cognition) criteria. Participants were visually screened for functional motion ( ≥ 40° wrist flexion and extension, finger-tips to the palm).1 A-priori analysis at 0.80 power and 0.05 alpha level determined sample size.
