Basically two techniques are available for examination of the hands: 1. The transducer is used in conjunction with a concave standoff pad, preferably one having a variable curvature. 2. The hands are immersed in a gas-free water bath. In this technique the very high impedance jump between ...
Wrist jointWe investigated the characteristics of the wrist joint motion in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), using a biaxial flexible goniometer. Wrist joint range of motion and velocity were measured on the dominant hand in RA patients (n = 22) and normal individuals (n = 5). We ...
Condyloid jointsconsist of an oval-shaped end of one bone fitting into a similarly oval-shaped hollow of another bone (Figure 5). This is also sometimes called an ellipsoidal joint. This type of joint allows angular movement along two axes, as seen in the joints of the wrist and fingers,...
Lead arthritis and lead poisoning following bullet wounds: A clinicopathologic, ultrastructural, and microanalytic study of two cases Bullet wounds causing lead synovitis in the wrist and knee are reported in two patients, one of whom also developed clinical plumbism. Very high lead level... RE ...
A graft was used in only one case, a wrist fusion from radius to metacarpal. CONCLUSION It is not suggested that this is necessarily the best technique in all cases, but it is an addition to the general armamentarium of the surgeon and is particularly useful in cases with previous failures...
joints of hand [TA] joints include the radiocarpal or wrist joint; intercarpal, carpometacarpal, intermetacarpal, metacarpophalangeal, and interphalangeal joints. Synonym(s): articulationes manus [TA], articulations of hand Farlex Partner Medical Dictionary © Farlex 2012 joints of hand (joy...
Thearmextends from the shoulder to the elbow, explicitly excluding theforearm, and thus “upper limb” and “arm” are not synonymous. Thejoints of the free upper limb(articulations of the upper extremity except for the shoulder girdle) are Shoulder, Elbow, Radioulnar, Wrist, Interca...
(3) Apivotjoint provides rotation. At the top of the spine, the atlas and axis form a pivot joint that allows for rotation of the head. (4) Acondyloidjoint allows for circular motion, flexion, and extension. The wrist joint between the radius and the carpal bones is an example of a...
This paper is concerned with the analysis and the numerical evaluation from experimental measurements of the static, Cartesian stiffness of wrist joints, in particular the human wrist. The primary aim is to extend from Euclidean spaces to so(3), the group of rigid body rotations, previous methods...
Materials and methods Nine RA patients with both an inflamed knee joint and an inflamed small joint (wrist or metacarpophalangeal) were subjected to an arthroscopic synovial biopsy of both joints on the same day. Multiple biopsy specimens were collected and stained for macrophages, T cells, ...
