3D Analysis of the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint Kinematics during Flexion

Figure 1

Soft tissue preparation of the index finger with dissected extensor and flexor tendons. Pins are inserted to fix the LEDs to the finger (a). The finger is fixed in a stable tool with two pins through the proximal phalangeal bone. Three cameras are detecting the light of all LEDs during flexion and extension of the finger ((b), (c)).
