Article Abstract
The three-dimensional carpal alignment was measured in the neutral wrist position in 121 asymptomatic volunteers using computer-based cone-beam CT analysis. Normal values and the reliability of the automated analysis are reported. An analysis software based on segmentation of CT images and mathematical modelling was used to determine several axis variants based on different landmarks and to calculate the intercarpal angles automatically. Twenty wrists were imaged twice to determine intra-observer reliability. Mean values using the preferred axis variants were: scapholunate angle 57° (SD 9°), radiolunate angle 2° (SD 10°), lunocapitate angle -14° (SD 9°). Using alternate axis variants notably changed the angles produced. The intra-observer reliability of the analysis was excellent (mean intraclass correlation coefficient 0.97, SD 0.03). Computer-based CT analysis enables highly reproducible and automated assessment of carpal alignment. This study provides a reference database for measurement techniques and normal carpal angle values in three-dimensional imaging.

Purpose: The NOM (non-operative management) of distal radius fractures (DRF) is influenced by various factors. This study seeks to determine whether poor fracture alignment correlates with poor outcome.
Methods: Over a period of three years, a study was conducted on conservatively treated DRF involving 127 patients, 104 women (81.
Effects of Different Inertial Measurement Unit Sensor-to-Segment Calibrations on Clinical 3-Dimensional Wrist Joint Angles Estimation.

Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) enable accurate estimation of anatomical joint angles but require a sensor-to-segment calibration. Literature has presented several algorithms that address this gap; however, adequately comparing calibration performance is not trivial. This study compares 3 calibration methods: N-pose calibration (NP), functional calibration (FC), and manual alignment (MA) to estimate 3D wrist joint angles during single-plane and multiplane tasks.

Introduction: Augmented Reality (AR) has emerged as a transformative tool in health professions education, offering immersive and interactive learning experiences. This study aimed to develop and evaluate VASHA, a handheld AR application for training physicians and radiologic technicians in recognizing commonly missed fractures in extremities.
Methods: A mobile AR-based training application was developed to teach six commonly missed fractures, including the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint, cubitus (elbow) joint, radiocarpal (wrist) joint, acetabulofemoral (hip) joint, tibiofemoral (knee) joint, and talocrural (ankle) joint.
An effective framework to study signal transmission due to non-homogeneous extracellular space in neuron.

Nerve conduction velocity studies are essential to understanding neurological disorders like ALS, Guillain-Barré syndrome, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatic nerve disorders, and multiple sclerosis, which are marked by slowed signal conduction. Various ions in the extracellular space (ECS) and the nerve fiber regulate signal propagation, making it crucial to analyze ECS's impact on signal transmission. This study examines how a non-homogeneous extracellular space affects nerve conduction velocity using a modified cable model that incorporates ECS parameters such as its diameter and resistance.
