The purpose of this study was to correlate wrist motion (ROM) and disability of the upper limb. A total number of 205 patients who had undergone various wrist operations were included in this study, in which the range of motion of the wrist was correlated with the DASH (disability of arm, shoulder and hand) score. There was a significant correlation between the DASH score and the ROM of the wri...

This study tests various acquisition and reconstruction protocols for MDCT of the wrist to determine the optimal views in wrist imaging. These views include: wrist in prone position, perpendicularly to CT gantry; wrist in prone position with internal and external deviation of the hand and PA wrist image reformatted in CT workstations along the axis of the scaphoid bone.Among these different vie...

When moving objects with a precision grip, fingertip forces normal to the object surface (grip force) change in parallel with forces tangential to the object (load force). We investigated whether voluntary wrist actions can affect grip force independent of load force, because the extrinsic finger muscles cross the wrist. Grip force increased with wrist angular speed during wrist motion in the h...

background: scaphoid mal:union: alters the carpal kinematics and impairs clinical outcome because of pain, weakness, restricted range of motion and predisposing the wrist joint to early osteoarthritis. the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the scaphoid morphological angles on clinical outcomes in patients with reconstructed scaphoid by non-vascularized bone graft. methods: seve...

conclusion high-resolution mr images of the wrist using 3d t2space, pd blade and t2 blade were superior to those using conventional sequences quantitatively. high-snr and cnr mr imaging with space and blade would be a promising method to diagnose wrist lesions. results snr of the cartilage, tfcc on 3d t2space and t1 fse was better than other sequences (p < 0.001). snr of the bone on pd blade wa...

background prediction of skeletal growth is necessary for growth modification and surgical orthodontic treatments and is usually done by assessing skeletal maturity indicators in hand-wrist radiographs. the use of growth stages of cervical vertebrae in lateral cephalograms has been suggested to avoid overexposure. objectives this study seeks to assess the degree of agreement between hand-wrist ...

OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical and radiographic features of a group of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients who developed unilateral destructive wrist synovitis. METHODS All wrist radiographs performed yearly between 1986 and 2002 in JIA patients who had wrist involvement were retrospectively reviewed to identify patients who had unilateral erosive wrist synovitis, defined as a di...
