Reconstruction of the thumb

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1962
An amputated thumb causes an estimated loss of 50% of the entire hand's function. A hand without a thumb is, at best, a useful hook. A partial amputation distal to the metacarpophalangeal joint usually requires nothing more than a well-padded stump which is not adherent to bone and a stump which is free from neuroma (Fig. 1).

Triplicated Thumb

Plastic &amp Reconstructive Surgery, 1997
A polydactyly anomaly of the thumb with three nails, two metacarpals, and seven phalanges is presented. This anomaly is named triplicated thumb, and its place in Wassel's classification is discussed. The patient was treated according to the principles of surgery of polydactyly anomalies.

Guidelines, Criteria, and Rules of Thumb for Evaluating Normed and Standardized Assessment Instruments in Psychology.

, 1994
In the context of the development of prototypic assessment instruments in the areas of cognition, personality, and adaptive functioning, the issues of standardization, norming procedures, and the important psychometrics of test reliability and validity ...

A Novel Monolithic Soft Robotic Thumb for an Anthropomorphic Prosthetic Hand

IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2019
The thumb of a natural hand or a prosthetic hand plays a significant role in realizing a hand's grasping and manipulation activities. This requires that mechanical design of a prosthetic hand should allow its thumb to perform both abduction/adduction and

Skier's Thumb

The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 1989
In brief: Diagnosis of skier's thumb-a common sports injury-is based on physical examination and history of the injury. The most important findings from the physical exam are point tenderness over the ulnar collateral ligament and instability, which is tested with the thumb at 0° and at 20° to 30° of flexion.

FingerInput: Capturing Expressive Single-Hand Thumb-to-Finger Microgestures

International Symposium on Switching, 2018
Single-hand thumb-to-finger microgestures have shown great promise for expressive, fast and direct interactions. However, pioneering gesture recognition systems each focused on a particular subset of gestures.

Thumb Replantation or Not?

Scandinavian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1986
Over a three-year period 14 consecutive cases of amputated thumbs, 10 complete and 4 incomplete, were replanted/revascularized. Eight thumbs (57%) survived. These cases were compared with a control group, in which replantation had failed or had not been attempted.

Thumb Basal Joint Arthritis.

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2018
The thumb basal joint is the second most common site of osteoarthritis in the hand, and osteoarthritis of this joint can contribute to painful movement and debilitating function.

Design and Evaluation of a Novel 5 DoF Underactuated Thumb-Exoskeleton

IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2018
This letter presents the design of a new exoskeleton for thumb. The main feature of this device is a high degree of underactuation. In fact, the five degrees of freedom (dof) of the thumb are actuated by just one linear actuator.

Thumb-In-Motion: Evaluating Thumb-to-Ring Microgestures for Athletic Activity

Symposium on Spatial User Interaction, 2018
Spatial User Interfaces, such as wearable fitness trackers are widely used to monitor and improve athletic performance. However, most fitness tracker interfaces require bimanual interactions, which significantly impacts the user's gait and pace.
