A joint coordinate system proposal for the study of the trapeziometacarpal joint kinematics.

30 May 2009 The International Society of Biomechanics (ISB) has recommended a standardisation for the motion reporting of almost all human joints. This study proposes an adaptation for the trapeziometacarpal joint. The definition of the segment coordinate ... Read more...

Effects of age and gender on the movement workspace of the trapeziometacarpal joint.

30 Jan 2009 While researchers have suggested that joint mobility would probably be affected by age and gender, research findings often present discrepancies. Little research has been performed on the factors which effect mobility of the trapeziometacarpal (TMC) ... Read more...

[How to define the joint movements unambiguously: proposal of standardization for the trapezometacarpal joint]

5 Sep 2008 In order to define the movements of a joint, clinicians usually use anatomic terms. These terms are clearly understandable for a simple movement, defined in an anatomic plane. However, these terms are ambiguous for complex movements or for movements ... Read more...
