BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2018 Background The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate distal resection interposition arthroplasty of the wrist as a tool to restore mobility as well as to restore stability in severely destroyed wrist joints.

The biomechanical importance of the scaphoid-centrale fusion during simulated knuckle-walking and its implications for human locomotor evolution [PDF]
, 2020 © 2020, The Author(s). Inferring the locomotor behaviour of the last common ancestor (LCA) of humans and African apes is still a divisive issue. An African great-ape-like ancestor using knuckle-walking is still the most parsimonious hypothesis for the ...

Validation of an electrogoniometry system as a measure of knee kinematics during activities of daily living [PDF]
, 2013 Purpose: The increasing use of electrogoniometry (ELG) in clinical research requires the validation of different instrumentation. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the concurrent validity of an ELG system during activities of daily living.

Clinical and Translational Science, 2023 Low muscle quality and a sedentary lifestyle are indicators for a slow recovery after a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Mitochondrial function is an important part of muscle quality and a key driver of sarcopenia.

Evaluation of a cadaveric wrist motion simulator using marker-based X-ray reconstruction of moving morphology [PDF]
PeerJSurgical intervention is a common option for the treatment of wrist joint arthritis and traumatic wrist injury. Whether this surgery is arthrodesis or a motion preserving procedure such as arthroplasty, wrist joint biomechanics are inevitably altered. To

Total wrist arthroplasty: A review [PDF]
Journal of Hand and Microsurgery, 2016 Total wrist arthroplasty was first performed over a hundred years ago. However, it did not prove a viable option until the late 1960s with the advent of the Swanson implant. Since then there have been many advances. The changes in design, and their rationale, are discussed in this article.
