A Study to Evaluate 4DCT Controls

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to assess healthy controls without any history of wrist injury or diseases by using 4DCT scanning during wrist movement to characterize gapping at the scapholunate, radiolunate, and radioscaphoid joints, as well as the scaphotrapeziotrapezoid (STT) joint. This will test the hypotheses that scapholunate and STT gapping distances and bilateral asymmetry will be greater in the resisted tasks as compared to the unresisted tasks in both male and female subjects, and that gapping in females will be greater than in males.
