Mobility of the elastic counterpressure space suit glove.

29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: To evaluate the mobility of the current gas-pressurized glove of the extravehicular mobility unit (G-glove) and the elastic counterpressure glove (E-glove), we investigated range of motion (ROM) and indices of fatigue during grip ... Read more...

Quantitative three-dimensional photoacoustic tomography of the finger joints: phantom studies in a spherical scanning geometry.

24 Aug 2009 In this paper, we present a series of phantom experiments that aim to systematically evaluate the possibility of quantitative three-dimensional (3D) photoacoustic imaging of the finger joints in a spherical scanning geometry. The 3D absorption ... Read more...

Effectiveness of two finger splints for swan neck deformity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a randomized, crossover trial.

13 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness and acceptability of silver ring splints (SRS) and commercial prefabricated thermoplastic splints (PTS) in treating swan neck deformities in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS: Consecutive ... Read more...
