Validating the measurement of passive Musculo-articular wrist stiffness without intentional or reactive contraction using axillary plexus block

The use of sinusoidal oscillation was well accepted by the participants, demonstrating its usefulness and applicability in a clinical setting. This work serves as a foundation for future investigations of orthopaedic and/or neurological pathological conditions characterized by abnormal passive joint stiffness of the wrist. It paves the way for its use as a diagnostic, prognostic, and monitoring tool in these pathologies.
