  • Summary of responses to: "wrist/hand modeling"

    Hi all!

    The summary of the responses I got as to my original message requesting
    help. I would like to thank to all people for their encouraging and
    helpful replies.

    >>original message>>

    I am going to work on hand-wrist modeling through this summer under the
    scope of the summer undergraduate research program. The goal is to
    expose a 3d model of the human wrist/hand so that someone can study how
    normal and pathological hand works. I have no experience with 3d
    modeling of body parts. I couldn't find helpful information on the net
    and in the library(just a few too much specific papers published by J.
    of Biomech.) I think, firstly, I need some introductory information on
    wrist/hand kinematics, dynamics and joint stress analysis. Later, I
    would like to focus on ligament modeling. All related introductory and
    advance level references are wellcome. Thanks,

    Gonul

    Two great initial resources are :

    linical Mechanics of the Hand by Paul Brand and Anne Hollister (1999)
    Mosby Yearbook; ISBN: 0815127863

    Biomechanics of the Hand : A Basic Research Study by E. Y. Chao ,
    Kai-Nan An, William P. Cooney, Ronald Linscheid (1989) World Scientific
    Pub Co; ISBN: 9971501031

    Once you read these, then you'll be ready to go on doing something with
    ligaments. Good luck.

    The last two references, books,are a really good place to see who are
    the main people doing wrist biomechanics/kinematics in the world. The
    last book in particular was from Hand and Wrist Biomechanics Symposium
    every other year (the last was in 1997). New papers are always coming
    out but I would be careful about papers that say they are measuring
    kinematics when they are really looking at static position data.
    Deriving information from static positions is very useful
    but it is not the same as measuring dynamic motion. Good luck.
