Abstract
The purpose of this research is to investigate the amount of force applied to the wrist during various activities of daily living (ADL). This study has two phases. During Phase 1, hand contact forces will be measured while subjects push on a door handle, do a standard push-up, and stand from sitting. The second phase will use cadaver models to compare external loading to forces measured in the wrist during ADL
