Multiple, not single, recipient muscle tendon transfers produce well-coordinated thumb-tip movement in lateral pinch grasp: a simulation study with application to restoration of im... by Cole D. Smith, Joseph D. Towles

“…We calculated CMC joint ab/adduction deviation from the flexion–extension plane and IP joint flexion in the plane that all muscle groups produced and compared those joint angle movements to those of the FPL when it alone drove the thumb.ResultsOf the 27 simulations, three muscle groups, each consisting of three or four muscles, generated lower IP joint flexion and CMC joint ab/adduction compared with the FPL.ConclusionThis study points to the potential of novel, multiple recipient muscle tendon transfer surgeries to outperform the current standard of care to restore lateral pinch grasp following tetraplegia.…”
