Functional morphology seeks to establish the relationship between
form and function: the description of anatomic phenomena is used as
a basis for defining functional factors which themselves, long
term, affect the development of the form. This kind of basic study
is essential for our understanding of quadruped and human motion
and has been discussed by Pauwels (1948,1955, 1960) and Kummer
(1956, 1959, 1962, 1978). Biomechanical analysis of human upper and
lower limb joints has resulted in causal therapy in cases of joint
disease (Pauwels 1935, 1961, 1976; Maquet 1976). Studies of the
functional strain on the shoulder joint socket and the elbow joint
have been carried out by Pauwels (1955, 1959, 1963) and Tillmann
(1971, 1978). Joints of the human hand and wrist have been
discussed from a phylogenetic, onto genetic, anatomic-descriptive,
and clinical point of view (Thilenius 1895; Corner 1898; Zrubecky
1960; Lewis 1970; Blauth and Schneider-Sickert 1976; et al.), but
so far no studies of these joints have been undertaken with a view
to investigating the functional connection between morphology and
specific strain. This study aims to establish the relationship
between the form and the normal or disturbed functioning of three
important joints of the human hand: the proximal wrist joint, the
saddle joint of the thumb, and the metacarpophalangeal joints, and
to evaluate the findings biomechanically and clinically."
