Abstract：Objective To develop a MFS (Myelopathy-Hand Function Evaluation System) in combination with computer programming based on the data glove technology. Methods Altogether 20 confirmed CSM (Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy) patients and 20 healthy volunteers were selected respectively in this study. With deployment of the WiseGlove data glove, motion signals of the metacarpophalangeal joint during 10-s GRT (Grip and Release Test) were acquire dand processed by the computer software based on VC++ programming to simulate the angular changes of the metacarpophalangeal joint. Results The average 10-s GRT results of the left and right hands in CSM Group were 15.20 times/10 s and 15.45 times/10 s respectively in contrast with 23.42 times/10 s and 23.63 times/10 s in Control Group. Statistically significant differences existed in the 10-s GRT results of the same-sided hands between two groups (P＜0.05). Hand functions were deteriorated to various degrees in patients with CSM. Conclusion With the first ever adoption of the data glove technology, MFS had demonstrated its high-integration, noninvasive, quantitative, reliable and easy-to-operate features in quantitative analysis of myelopathy-hand functions.
