Do wrist orthoses cause compensatory elbow and shoulder movements when performing drinking and hammering tasks? [PDF]

open access: yesIrish Journal of Occupational Therapy, 2017
Purpose - Wrist orthoses are used by occupational therapists to decrease pain, support weak muscles and protect tissues during healing. However, use of wrist orthoses has been observed to produce compensatory movements in other upper extremity joints ...

Biomechanical Modeling of Brachialis-to-Wrist Extensor Muscle Transfer Function for Daily Activities in Tetraplegia

open access: yesJBJS Open Access, 2022
Background:. We recently reported a novel case demonstrating the feasibility of a brachialis (BRA)-to-extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) tendon transfer, but it is not yet known whether this transfer provides robust functional results across ...

Validation of grip strength as a measure of frailty in rheumatoid arthritis

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients often exhibit finger/wrist joint symptoms and reduced grip strength. This study aimed to validate grip strength as a measure of frailty in RA patients. Subjects were 424 female RA patients (mean age ± standard deviation,

The Energy Benefits of the Pantograph Wing Mechanism in Flapping Flight: Case Study of a Gull [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Bird wings generally contain a 4-bar pantograph mechanism in the forearm that enables the wrist joint to be actuated from the elbow joint thus reducing the number of wing muscles and hence reducing the wing inertia and inertial drag.

Synovial tuberculosis in wrist diagnosed based on metagenomic next-generation sequencing: A case report

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Inflammation, 2022
Synovial tuberculosis in the wrist is a rare disease that is usually misdiagnosed at the early stage. In this case, we presented a 67-year-old male with wrist joint tuberculosis who presented repeated left wrist joint edema for more than 2 years.

Constrained Registration of the Wrist Joint [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, 2009
Comparing wrist shapes of different individuals requires alignment of these wrists into the same pose. Unconstrained registration of the carpal bones results in anatomically nonfeasible wrists. In this paper, we propose to constrain the registration using the shapes of adjacent bones, by keeping the width of the gap between adjacent bones constant. The

In vivo contact stresses at the radiocarpal joint using a finite element method of the complete wrist joint [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
A small number of cadaveric studies have been carried out looking at the force transmission through the radiocarpal joint. In this study subject specific finite element models were created of the whole wrist joint using measured biomechanical data to ...
