Carpometacarpal Osteoarthritis: Towards Identification of Biomechanical, Neuromuscular, and Somatosensory Mechanisms
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Range of Motion Tasks and Strength Tasks for Carpometacarpal Osteoarthritis. Completed, enrolled 31 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study examines carpometacarpal osteoarthritis (CMC OA) and aims to elucidate the biomechanical, neuromuscular, and somatosensory mechanisms that contribute to CMC OA symptoms by using orthopaedic biomechanics and quantitative pain testing. Completion of this study will provide a comprehensive dataset describing how movement strategies (muscle activity and joint posture) as well as experimental and clinical pain differ between individuals with CMC OA and age-matched controls.
