Comparative study regarding the stability of a proximal ulnar stump with or without distal oblique bundle reconstruction during the Sauvé‒Kapandji procedure: a finite-element analy... by Shanqing Yin, Chenxi Zhang, Yaopeng Huang, Jiadong Pan, Xin Wang, Xiaodong Liu

“…This study created finite-element models of the distal oblique bundle (DOB) to determine its effect on the proximal ulnar stump instability encountered during the Sauvé‒Kapandji procedure.PurposeWe hypothesized that a proximal ulnar stump with distal oblique bundle reconstruction would provide greater stability than a proximal ulnar stump without distal oblique bundle reconstruction.MethodsDetailed CT imaging data acquired from a pathological specimen of the wrist joint were imported into a finite-element analysis software package, and the regions of interest, including bone, cartilage, ligaments and tendons, were extracted to create a 3-dimensional model. …”

Isotropy of an Upper Limb Exoskeleton and the Kinematics and Dynamics of the Human Arm by Joel C. Perry, Janet M. Powell, Jacob Rosen

“…Additionally, velocity effects were found to contribute only 1/100th of the total joint torque, whereas acceleration components contribute 1/10th of the total torque at the shoulder and elbow, and nearly half of the total torque at the wrist. These results suggest that the majority of human arm joint torques are devoted to supporting the human arm position in space while compensating gravitational loads whereas a minor portion of the joint torques is dedicated to arm motion itself. …”

Research Progress of Intelligent Evaluation and Virtual Reality Based Training in Upper Limb Rehabilitation afrer Stroke by XIE Qiurong, LIN Wanqi, ZHANG Qi, SHENG Bo, ZHANG Yanxin, HUANG Jia

“…VR rehabilitation systems can be divided into off-the-shelf commercial video game systems and custom virtual environment systems; touch and touchless interfaces; proximal movement (shoulder and elbow), distal movement (wrist and hand), and hybrid movement systems. Various VR rehabilitation systems for upper limb function in stroke have been developed at home and abroad, but there are shortcomings: 1) lack of patient-centered task-oriented personalized training plans; 2) less frequent use of the hand and arm as a whole in the research; 3) more subjective assessment of functional impairment and clinical outcome; 4) no close integration between rehabilitation assessment and treatment. …”
