  2. 1. Wrist and thumb joint postures and motions: Measurements using electrogoniometry and EMG

    Author : Per Jonsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Wrist joint; Finger joint; Electromyography; Accuracy; Electrogoniometry; Input device; Information and communication technology; Mobile phone; Muscle activity; Posture; Thumb; Wrist;

    Abstract : Correct measurements of the joints’ extreme postures, velocity and repetitiveness are important for studies of the origin of musculoskeletal disorders. Posture measurements of wrist and thumb joints may also provide insights into input device designs that may reduce effort and/or facilitate productivity. READ MORE

  4. 2. Clinical and arthroscopic assessment of wrist ligament injuries and instability

    Author : Jonny K Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; wrist; wrist arthroscopy; carpal ligaments; scapholunate ligament; lunotriquetral ligament; triangular fibrocartilage complex; distal radio-ulnar joint; instability; magnetic resonance imaging; forearm rotation torque; children; adolescents;

    Abstract : Wrist ligament injuries are common after trauma, especially when concomitant dislocated radius fractures are present. The diagnostics of scapholunate (SL), lunotriquetral (LT) and triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injuries are challenging and most often dependent on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination or invasive arthroscopy.

  5. 3. Wrist osteoarthritis - Impact on daily life, self-management and outcome

    Author : Sara Larsson; Malmö Handkirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Wrist osteoarthritis; Impact on daily life; Total wrist fusion; Total wrist arthroplasty; Patient-reported outcome measure; self-management; Exercise therapy; Neuromuscular control;

    Abstract : For individuals with symptomatic wrist osteoarthritis (OA), pain is the central problem negatively affecting all aspects of life. Despite the recommendations that all OA patients should be offered self-management treatment options, this approach is often lacking for patients with wrist OA. READ MORE

  6. 4. Ulnar fractures and ligament injuries of the wrist

    Author : Maria Moloney; Lars Adolfsson; Simon Farnebo; Niels Schep; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ulna; Fracture; Wrist; PRWE; Classification;

    Abstract : Falling over on an outstretched hand with the wrist extended is a common accident that can cause a multitude of injuries in the wrist. Research has mainly focused on distal radius fractures while injuries of the distal ulna and adjacent ligaments have taken a back seat. READ MORE

  7. 5. Scaphoid fractures : Studies on diagnosis and treatment

    Author : Bertil Vinnars; Bengt Gerdin; Lars Adolfsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Surgery; Scaphoid Bone; Wrist Joint; Wrist Injuries; Fracture Healing; Cost of Illness; Health Care Costs; Outcome Assessment Health Care ; Arthroplasty; Radiography; Health status; Kirurgi;

    Abstract : Scaphoid fracture is most common in young individuals of working age. Without adequate diagnosis and treatment, long-term results are poor. Operative treatment is being recommended increasingly often instead of a long time in cast, although there is no evidence-based support for its superiority. READ MORE
