Although fasciae have long interested clinicians in a multitude of different clinical and
paramedical disciplines, there have been few attempts to unite the ensuing diverse literature …

STUDY DESIGN: Narrative review. Recent years have brought new research findings on the
subject of wrist joint proprioception, which entails an understanding of the wrist as part of a …

Introduction Impaired proprioception severely affects the control of gross and fine motor
function. However, clinical assessment of proprioceptive deficits and its impact on motor …

Background: Stability and mobility represent the paradoxical demands of the human thumb
carpometacarpal joint, yet the structural origin of each functional demand is poorly defined …

PURPOSE: Recent publications on the sensory innervation of wrist ligaments have
challenged our understanding of ligaments as mere passive restraints in wrist stability …

From a kinetic point of view, the wrist is considered stable when it is capable of resisting load
without suffering injury. Several prerequisites are necessary for the wrist to be kinetically …

Thirty cadaveric forearms were tested using a wrist testing apparatus specifically designed
to investigate the mechanisms of muscle stabilization of the wrist. The specimens were set in …

PURPOSE: The human thumb trapeziometacarpal (TM) joint is a unique articulation that
allows stability during pinch and grip and great degrees of mobility. Because the saddle …

This article reviews the results of a series of cadaver investigations aimed at clarifying the
role of muscles in the stabilization of ligament-deficient wrists. According to these studies …

Carpal stability has traditionally been defined as dependent on the articular congruity of joint
surfaces, the static stability maintained by intact ligaments, and the dynamic stability caused …
