A novel experimental design for the measurement of metacarpal bone loading and deformation and fingertip force

BACKGROUND: Musculoskeletal and finite element modelling are often used to predict joint loading and bone strength within the human hand, but there is a lack of in vitro evidence of the force and strain experienced by hand bones. METHODS: This study presents a novel experimental setup that allows th...
