Finger joint angles were calculated in each frame using the normalized dot product of the vectors (equations). RA patients were instructed to perform a rapid repetition of five fist closures. Hand movements were captured using standard smartphone cameras. Kinetic features time to maximum flexion for MCP, PIP and DIP joints were correlated with RA disease activity and disability outcomes. Logistic regression was used to investigate associations of range of motion and kinetic features with 28-joint DAS (DAS28) low disease activity\/remission.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our model showed promising performance in predicting low disease activity\/remission in RA patients. Internal validation using 5-fold cross-validation on the training dataset (n\u2009=\u200981) yielded a mean accuracy of 0.72 (s.d. 0.09), specificity of 0.65 (s.d. 0.17), recall of 0.86 (s.d. 0.05) and area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC) of 0.80 (s.d. 0.09). External validation on the test dataset (n\u2009=\u200919) demonstrated improved performance with an accuracy of 0.84, specificity of 0.75, recall of 0.91 and AUROC of 0.89. Greater PIP and DIP joint angle changes, along with faster time to maximal flexion, were associated with lower disease activity. Significant correlations were observed between kinetic metrics and standard clinical measures, including DAS28, swollen joint count, tender joint count and HAQ Disability Index.<\/jats:p>\n
