One impairment commonly described in the context of CMC1 OA is a loss of radial (RABD) and palmar (PABD) thumb abduction. Traditional goniometric measures are unreliable and poorly correlated with functional limitations. The intermetacarpal distance (IMD) method, using digital calipers, shows promise for better reliability, but its validity and the feasibility of using tape measures remain untested.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To evaluate the construct validity, test\u2013retest reliability, and precision of IMD-based thumb abduction measurements using calipers and tape in individuals with non-operative, radiographically confirmed CMC1 OA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Forty participants underwent standardized IMD assessments using both caliper and tape methods across two sessions, 2\u00a0weeks apart.
