title = "Investigation of Anatomical Shape of Thumb of de Quervain{\textquoteright}s Tenosynovitis Patients",
abstract = "Patients with de Quervain{\textquoteright}s tenosynovistis (dQt) experience pain on the radial side of their injured wrist. One of the conservative treatments prescribed for this hand condition is splinting. The fit of the splint is a critical element that may affect the treatment compliance rate and wear comfort of patients. To fabricate a splint with well-fitting properties, exploring the anatomical shape of the hand of dQt patients is essential. In this study, 16 female dQt patients are recruited for three-dimensional hand scanning and investigation of their thumb curvatures. The measured angles which show the different curvatures along the thumb are discussed.",
