Figure 1From: A simulating analysis of the effects of increased joint stiffness on muscle loading in a thumbSchematics of the proposed thumb model developed using AnyBody. The model consisted of a fixed trapezium, a metacarpal bone, a proximal and distal phalanx, which were linked via three joints: IP, MP, and CMC. Nine muscles were included in the model: FPL, EPL, EPB, APL, FPB, APB, ADPt, ADPo, and OPP.Back to article page
