The distal interphalangeal joint (DIP) and thumb basilar joint (base of the thumb) are the most common places in the hand to experience arthritic symptoms. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune ...

Abstract: In this article, a position control strategy is proposed for a triple-joint pneumatic finger with angle sensors using a tendon-driven technique. Measurement noise from the angle sensors is ...

The proposed robot hand imitated the human hand, the four fingers, excluding the thumb, consist of distal interphalangeal(DIP), proximal interphalangeal(PIP), metacarpophalangeal(MCP) joints. The ...

A total of 22 dactylitic joints (5 finger joints in 4 fingers (2 IP joints of the thumbs, 2 proximal IP (PIP) joints and 1 metacarpophalangeal joint) and 17 toe joints in 8 toes (3 IP joints of the ...

The measures were done in triplicate at four locations: the distal interphalangeal joint of the index finger, ulnar styloid process, interphalangeal joint of the hallux, and internal malleolus. The ...

Even if there is no fracture, a severely jammed finger can lead to permanent joint deformity and stiffness if not given the appropriate treatment. Depending on the type of injury you have sustained, ...
