Relative motion between the flexor digitorum superficialis tendon and subsynovial connective tissue is time dependent
Abstract
The subsynovial connective tissue is an integral component of flexor tendon gliding in the carpal tunnel, which is strained during longitudinal tendon displacement. We tested the effects of repetition frequency and finger load on flexor tendon function throughout active finger movement. Eleven participants performed metacarpophalangeal joint flexion/extension of the long finger cyclically at three repetition frequencies (0.75, 1.00, 1.25 Hz) …
