Kinematics of Thumb Opposition
INTRODUCTION One of the most important hand functions is thumb opposition, which results from flexion, abduction and axial rotation at the carpometacarpal, metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints [1]. The thenar muscles, innervated by the median nerve, are critical for coordinated thumb movements. It is commonly observed that thumb opposition is impaired with median neuropathy [2]. The c...
متن کاملReoperation Rate and Indication for Reoperation after Free Functional Muscle Transfers in Traumatic Brachial Plexus Injury
plexus injury. Few studies report the rate of revision surgeries following free functional muscle transfers. We examinedthe reoperation rate and indication for reoperation after primary reconstruction of upper extremity function with a freegracilis transfer after brachial plexus injury.Methods: From 2003-2016, we identified 25 patients who underwent a free functional gracilis ...
متن کاملNeuromechanics of the Hand: Functional Degrees of Freedom during Thumb Opposition
INTRODUCTION In classic mechanics, degrees of freedom (DOF) are defined as the minimum number of independent coordinates needed to describe a system’s position. The human musculoskeletal system has many mechanical DOF through which countless movements are accomplished. However, natural movements are characterized by the coordination of the DOF such that few vary independently. The concept of fu...
متن کاملQuantifying thumb opposition kinematics using dynamic computed tomography.
Current motion capture techniques all have shortcomings when applied to the 3D quantitative evaluation of thumb base motion. Dynamic CT might overcome these shortcomings but, so far, robustness of this technique in more than one specimen has not yet been demonstrated. The aim of the current study is to further evaluate the use of dynamic CT for quantification of thumb motion in a larger cadaver...
متن کاملOpposition splint for partial thumb amputation: a case study measuring disability before and after splint use.
STUDY DESIGN Case report. INTRODUCTION A combined burn and a partial amputation can be extremely debilitating as the thumb constitutes 40% of the entire hand when evaluating functional impairment. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Measure disability with and without opposition splint use after partial thumb amputation due to a burn. METHODS Impairment and disability measures were completed at discharg...
