- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Carpal kinematics are described by translation (in mm) and rotation (in<br /><br>degrees) during a period of time as the 4th dimension.<br /><br>From this study acquired information would able us to lay down the principles<br /><br>of a new non-invasive tool for detection of carpal instabilities that occur<br /><br>after ligament injury. We expect to find significant dynamic changes in<br /><br>patients with a ligament injury. From these changes most predictive parameters<br /><br>will be chosen to be used in our upcoming accuracy studies where the diagnostic<br /><br>value of 4D-RX will be determined.</p><br>
