Summary
This study looks at thumb osteoarthritis, a common cause of pain and weakness at the base of the thumb. Researchers will assess 93 people using a broad approach that includes physical, psychological, and social factors. They will also test whether artificial intelligence can predict a patient's overall profile from just a few key measurements. The goal is to improve how doctors evaluate and manage this condition.
