Ultrasonographic Assessment of Long Finger Tendon Excursion in Zone V During Passive and Active Tendon Gliding Exercises

Flexor tendon excursion and load during passive and active simulated motion: a cadaver study

“…Similar results were shown in in vivo studies. Excursions in active movements (1.0 mm to 2.0 mm per 10°) were larger than in passive exercises (0.4 mm to 0.9 mm per 10°) (Korstanje et al, 2010;Panchal et al, 1997;Soeters et al, 2004). This difference might result from tendon buckling, as suggested by Horii et al (1992).…”

“…Korstanje et al (2010) reported that excursions were significantly larger during active compared with passive flexions. Other cadaveric studies showed similar results.…”

D6-2 The Effect of Keyboard Typing on the Median Nerve at the Proximal Carpal Tunnel

“…In addition, finger movement also causes deformation of the median nerve, due to the compression from the surrounding soft tissues and the finger flexor tendon (Korstanje et al, 2010;Kursa et al, 2006;Loh et al, 2016a;Loh et al, 2016b;Ugbolue et al, 2005).…”

Correspondence of high-frequency ultrasound and histomorphometry of healing rabbit Achilles tendon tissue

“…Complications such as scar formation, adhesion in the tendon sheath or re-ruptures in the early healing phase do occur in 7-15% of the cases, which leads to increased work disability and costs (1). Imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound have been shown to provide accurate information on the integrity of tendons (2,3) or about the tendon excursion during active and passive hand movements (4). Using high-frequency ultrasound, a prospective study by Puippe et al (5) demonstrated that the range of motion as well as the deep flexor tendon excursion of human flexor tendon in zone II three months post-surgery was significantly correlated to a spindle-like tendon shape during the healing process.…”
