A Biomechanical Investigation Into The Effect Of Experimental Design On Wrist Biomechanics And Contact Mechanics, Clare E. Padmore
A Biomechanical Investigation Into The Effect Of Experimental Design On Wrist Biomechanics And Contact Mechanics, Clare E. Padmore
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The wrist is one of the most commonly injured joints, and injury can have serious sequelae if pathological healing ensues. Strides have been made to understand normal and pathological wrist biomechanics using experimental approaches, which has contributed to improved patient care. The present work advances our understanding of the influence of experimental techniques and joint motion measurement techniques on in-vitro wrist biomechanical cadaveric studies, and applies the knowledge learned to a common clinical entity of scapholunate insufficiency.
First, the relative contributions of the carpal rows to wrist motion were assessed, in addition to the identification of limitations of current biomechanical …
