| Summary: | and 801b loads at thresholds ranging from 2mm to 4mm. The arm was first loaded with a total of 801b from the carpal associated areas. centroid within specific distance thresholds. Five fresh determination of carpal joint proximity area and its area difference between the loaded and unloaded condition was used different thresholds. Each wrist was analyzed at both Olb each location's corresponding proximity distance and error to accurately predict proximity distances and their expected that with increased load, the proximity "area" in flexor and extensor tendons. Then the entire wrist was CT frozen cadaver specimen arms were used in this study. Each geometric simulation using spheres determined possible error however, in all cases, the joint proximity "area" increased imaged at an interval of 1.5mm. The weights were removed and imaging technology and computer-generated reconstruction in the distance measurements of reconstructed objects. This input files from a know geometry and testing the output for its centroid. The programs accuracy was tested creating model, and each bone shape examined for gross flaws. of the bone surface. An algorithm was written in C which or decreased without presenting a definite pattern. A projected bone information to calculate proximity "area" and Proximity distances were calculated for each discrete point simulation showed that the current protocol had too much techniques in developing an automatic method for the that the proximity area would increase as load increased, The purpose of this study was to use Computed Tomography (CT) the radio-carpal joint would also increase. AU CT slices the wrist was imaged again at the same interval. It was to normalize for different wrist sizes. It was expected used the discrete spatial locations of the bone surfaces, were contoured, then reconstructed as a three-dimensional |
