“…Brumfield and Champoux 15 and Palmer et al 16 conducted biomechanical studies of normal functional wrist motion. The range of wrist motion for necessary activities, such as eating, drinking, using a telephone, and reading, was accomplished by motion of 5°of flexion to 35°of extension.…”

In this article, we present the treatment of a recurrent giant-cell tumor of the radius with en bloc resection and full-length radius reconstruction with a 24-cm long microsurgical fibular graft. At time of 8-year follow-up, there was no evidence of tumor recurrence. A satisfactory range of motion of the elbow, wrist, and forearm was maintained. There was no instability in the joints, and grip strength measured 63% of the opposite side. With appropriate dynamic tendon transfer, this procedure can provide an alternative method for reconstruction of the full-length radius after tumor resection, with functional and durable results.

“…When either the elbow [82,96] or wrist [40] is constrained, other joints compensate; by inference, joint contribution is determined for functional tasks. Electrogoniometric studies with a gimbal coordinate system provide estimates on elbow [76] and wrist [19,84,94] ROM for functional activities. The functional CMC joint range is harder to assess even with constraining experiments [43,55,74], given the discrete but exacting motion of this joint and the functional restriction splints might impart [87].…”

“…Unlike the normal wrist extension angle range (20-30°) required for optimal grasp activities in nondisabled people [42][43], individual subject's wrist angle for optimal grasp varied largely (23.6 ± 15.9°), and this might be the reason for the weak correlation between the wrist extension angle and the efficiency.…”

Abstract-The wrist-driven flexor hinge orthosis (WDFHO) is a device used to restore hand function in persons with tetraplegic spinal cord injury by furnishing three-point prehension.We assessed the effectiveness and biomechanical properties of the WDFHO in 24 persons with cervical 6 or 7 tetraplegia who have severely impaired hand function. This study introduces a mechanical operating model to assess the efficiency of the WDFHO. Experimental results showed that pinch force increased significantly (p < 0.001) after using the WDFHO and was found to positively correlate with the strength of wrist extensor muscles (r = 0.41, p < 0.001). However, when the strength of the wrist extensors acting on the WDFHO was greater, the reciprocal wrist and finger motion that generates three-point prehension was less effective (r = 0.79, p < 0.001). Reliable and valid biomechanical evaluation of the WDFHO could improve our understanding of its biomechanics.
