Summary

This study examines carpometacarpal osteoarthritis (CMC OA) and aims to elucidate the biomechanical, neuromuscular, and somatosensory mechanisms that contribute to CMC OA symptoms by using orthopaedic biomechanics and quantitative pain testing. Completion of this study will provide a comprehensive dataset describing how movement strategies (muscle activity and joint posture) as well as experimental and clinical pain differ between individuals with CMC OA and age-matched controls.

Conditions

  • Carpometacarpal Osteoarthritis

Interventions

OTHER

Range of Motion Tasks

Participants will perform range of motion (thumb only) to evaluate fine and gross motor function.

OTHER

Strength Tasks

Participants will perform strength (pinch and grip) tests to evaluate fine and gross motor function.
