Validation of the Pediatric Arthritis Ultrasound Scoring System for the Elbow, Wrist, and Finger Joints in Children With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. [PDF]
Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken)Objective We aimed to validate the Pediatric Arthritis Ultrasound Scoring System (PAUSS) for upper extremity joints in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Methods Children with JIA were evaluated for elbow, wrist, or finger arthritis by clinical examination (CE) and musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) with images scored according to the ...

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023 Human finger joints are conventionally simplified as rigid joints in robotic hand design and biomechanical hand modelling, due to their anatomic and morphologic complexity. However, our understanding of the effect of the finger joint configuration on the

A Three-dimensional Finger Motion Measurement System of a Thumb and an Index Finger Without a Calibration Process [PDF]
, 2020 Various wearable systems have been investigated to measure hand motion, but some challenges remain. Many systems require a calibration process to map sensor signals to actual finger joint angles by the principle of measuring the length change of the ...

Simultaneous Double Interphalangeal Joints Dislocation in a Finger in a Teenager [PDF]
Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal, 2012 The English literature reports a mere handful of cases involving simultaneous dislocation of two joints in the same finger. To our knowledge, all cases reported to date have been in skeletally mature individuals. We report a case of simultaneous proximal

Design, kinematic modeling and evaluation of a novel soft prosthetic hand with abduction joints
Medicine in Novel Technology and Devices, 2022 This paper presents a novel tendon-driven soft prosthetic hand with 5 fingers and 9 independent actuators. A special notched structure was used as the finger joint, which brings adequate compliance to grasping. The soft finger has two kinds of vertically

Analysis of Hand Intra-Finger Couplings During Flexion Movements in the Free Space
IEEE Access, 2023 The anatomy of the human hand is characterized by intrinsic coupling mechanisms at the level of the tendons and bone structure. The intra-finger constraints, in particular, represent coupled movements of the joints of the same finger.
