A simulating analysis of the effects of increased joint stiffness on muscle loading in a thumb

BACKGROUND: The development of osteoarthritis (OA) in the hand results in increased joint stiffness, which in turn affects the grip strength. The goal of the present study is to theoretically analyze the muscle forces in a thumb in response to the increased joint stiffness. METHODS: The thumb was mo...
