AN INVESTIGATION OF TENDON STRAINS IN JERSEY FINGER INJURY LOAD CASES USING A FINITE ELEMENT NEUROMUSCULAR HUMAN BODY MODEL

An investigation of tendon strains in jersey finger injury load cases using a finite element neuromuscular human body model

Introduction: A common hand injury in American football, rugby and basketball is the so-called jersey finger injury (JFI), in which an eccentric overextension of the distal interphalangeal joint leads to an avulsion of the connected musculus flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendon.In the field of automotive safety assessment, finite element (FE) ne
