The purpose of this article is to review past and present concepts concerning functional
kinematics of the healthy and injured wrist. To provide a context for students of the wrist, we …

The purpose of this review article is to provide an update on the realm of emerging
technology available for the assessment of dynamic functional movement of the hand and …

Background Scapholunate interosseous ligament injuries are prevalent and often
challenging to diagnose radiographically. Four-dimensional CT allows visualization of …

Purpose The purpose of this investigation was to compare kinematic motion and functional
performance during 2 tasks in patients following 4-corner fusion (4CF) or proximal row …

Background Restricted motion during touch screen device use may contribute to wrist
overuse injuries. Wrist radioulnar deviation and extension while using touch screen devices …

Methods for capturing wrist range of motion (RoM) vary in complexity, cost, and sensitivity.
Measures by manual goniometer, though an inexpensive modality, provide neither dynamic …

Optical motion capture (OMC) systems are commonly used to capture in-vivo three-
dimensional joint kinematics. However, the skin-based markers may not reflect the …

Purpose Following surgical repair of distal radius fractures, range of movement (ROM)
exercises are the primary approach for restoring movement during early rehabilitation …

At the wrist, kinematic coupling (the relationship between flexion-extension and radial-ulnar
deviation) facilitates function. Although the midcarpal joint is critical for kinematic coupling …

Purpose To determine the reliability of wrist range of motion (WROM) measurements based
on digital photographs taken by patients at home compared with traditional measurements …
