On June 23 1993, we requested information regarding moment arms
of prime wrist flexors. Many responded with valuable references
and expressed their interest in any other information we would
receive. Thank you very much to all those who responded.


The following is a summary of all the messages we were sent:


1. A biomechanical model of the human wrist with 16 links and
22 degrees of freedom to appear in the "Advances in the Biomechanics
of the Hand and Wrist", (F.Shuind, W.P.Cooney, K.N.An and M.Garcia-Elias
eds.), Brussels, 1993
