Dynamic 3-Dimensional kinematics of the wrist joint and radiocarpal articular contact Van Mahyar Foumani
1. In the case of individuals without any pathology of the wrist, carpal kinematics can be studied either dynamically or statically (this thesis)
2. In cadaver experiments the application of a constant load during passive motion of the wrist has a small but statistically significant influence on the carpal kinematics during flexion–extension and radioulnar deviation (this thesis)
3. Tendon loading and subsequent compressive forces cause the motion to follow more closely the anatomic contours of the articular surfaces with a increasing tendency of the carpal bones to move along a path that is more close to the path of the so-called “Dart Throwing Motion” path (this thesis)
3. The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom (Isaac Asimov)
4. Dynamic distance maps can be used to quantify the joint space thickness as a measure of cartilage degeneration (this thesis)
5. The radiocarpal joint space thickness is overestimated if a static CT scan is acquired (this thesis)
6. A visual approach to link the minimal distance maps to their 3-dimensional
anatomical counterparts is a powerful instrument that has potential clinical benefits that covers both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes (this thesis)
7. Dynamic distance maps can be used to describe and study articular changes after wrist surgery (this thesis)
