HandsUp

HandsUp measures kinematic scores for shoulder function from arm movements

The HandsUp app measures kinematic scores for shoulder function from simple movements of the arm using a smartphone. Medical professionals use HandsUp to perform straightforward and valid functional shoulder tests, to objectively measure and compare shoulder function. Patients may use HandsUp to track and share physical therapy progress. HandsUp is the result of a collaboration between Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), School of Health Sciences Vaud (HESAV) / University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland (HES-SO), University Hospital of Canton Vaud (CHUV), Queen Margaret University Edinburgh, and Gait Up SA.
