Non-Surgical Carpal Arch Space Augmentation for Median Nerve Decompression
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The carpal tunnel is a tightly bounded space, making the median nerve prone to compression and eventually leading to carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel release surgery transects the transverse carpal ligament to expand ...
Ligament and Bone Arch Partition of the Carpal Tunnel by Three-Dimensional Ultrasonography
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The carpal tunnel is geometrically irregular due to the complex composition of many carpal bones intercalated by numerous intercarpal ligaments. The purpose of the study was to investigate the relative contributions of the ...
Carpal Arch Changes in Response to Thenar Muscle Loading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study investigated the biomechanical effects of thenar muscles (abductor pollicis brevis (APB), superficial head of flexor pollicis brevis (sFPB), opponens pollicis (OPP)) on the transverse carpal ligament formed ...
Spatial Relationship of the Median Nerve and Transverse Carpal Ligament in Asymptomatic Hands
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The spacing between the median nerve and transverse carpal ligament (TCL) within the carpal tunnel can potentially affect the nerve morphology. This study aimed to quantify the spatial relationship between the median nerve ...
