Digit Recognition From Wrist Movements and Security Concerns with Smart Wrist Wearable IOT Devices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
In this paper, we investigate a potential security vulnerability associated with wrist wearable devices. Hardware components on common wearable devices include an accelerometer and gyroscope, among other sensors. We demonstrate that an accelerometer and gyroscope can pick up enough unique wrist movement information to identify digits being written by a

Comparative Effectiveness of Needle Aponeurotomy and Collagenase Injection for Dupuytren’s Contracture: A Multicenter Study

open access: yesPlastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2017
Background:. Although the efficacy of collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) injections has been demonstrated by randomized clinical trials, the relative effectiveness of CCH remains uncertain. Our aim was to compare the outcomes of CCH with those of

A Study on Wrist Identification for Forensic Investigation [PDF]

open access: yesImage and Vision Computing, vol. 88, August 2019, pp 96-112, 2019
Criminal and victim identification based on crime scene images is an important part of forensic investigation. Criminals usually avoid identification by covering their faces and tattoos in the evidence images, which are taken in uncontrolled environments.

Tenodesis Grasp Emulator: Kinematic Assessment of Wrist-Driven Orthotic Control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Wrist-driven orthotics have been designed to assist people with C6-7 spinal cord injury, however, the kinematic constraint imposed by such a control strategy can impede mobility and lead to abnormal body motion. This study characterizes body compensation using the novel Tenodesis Grasp Emulator, an adaptor orthotic that allows for the investigation of ...

Imaging Diagnosis and Management of Carpal Trauma and Instability—An Illustrated Guide

open access: yesLife, 2023
Understanding the subtle signs of carpal instability and other unique injury patterns in the wrist is a critical skill for radiologists. Proper patient management and outcomes are directly dependent on the accurate interpretation of wrist imaging studies.

Resurfacing capitate pyrocarbon implant after proximal row carpectomy: A literature review

open access: yesOrthopedic Reviews, 2020
Up to a decade ago, to treat patients with chronic wrist pain due to advanced stages of arthritis, surgeons had four main solutions: partial or total wrist arthrodesis, total wrist prosthesis and proximal row carpectomy (PRC). Since 2010, a new technique

An Anatomical Template for the Normalization of Medical Images of Adult Human Hands

open access: yesDiagnostics, 2023
During medical image analysis, it is often useful to align (or ‘normalize’) a given image of a given body part to a representative standard (or ‘template’) of that body part.

Cortico-Muscular Coherence Is Reduced Acutely Post-stroke and Increases Bilaterally During Motor Recovery: A Pilot Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2019
Motor recovery following stroke is believed to necessitate alteration in functional connectivity between cortex and muscle. Cortico-muscular coherence has been proposed as a potential biomarker for post-stroke motor deficits, enabling a quantification of

Efficacy of perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis in elective soft-tissue-only wrist arthroscopy

open access: yesBone & Joint Open, 2023
Aims: Wrist arthroscopy is a standard procedure in hand surgery for diagnosis and treatment of wrist injuries. Even though not generally recommended for similar procedures, general administration of perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis (PAP) is still ...
