Inhoud: Biomechanical models of the hand and fingers are useful tools for hand surgeons to improve surgical procedures and for biomedical researchers to explore the mechanical loading in the musculoskeletal system that cannot be easily measured in vivo. The purpose of the present study was to develop a realistic index finger model for solving practical problems. The model includes the meshes of four bony sections (distal, middle, proximal and metacarpal bones) obtained via micro-CT scans. The tendon attachment sites are adopted from the normative finger model. A total of seven tendon/muscles are included in the model. The predicted tendon excursions and moment arms were compared with published experimental data. One of the advantages of the current approach over previous studies is that the current model has been developed on a platform of a commercial software package, such that researchers can apply it as a universal tool for practical problems.
