The Association Between Annular Pulley Morphology and Maximal Fingertip Force

Key Points

• Maximal fingertip force is significantly associated with annular pulley morphology variation, showcasing biomechanical relevance.
• A peak force was noted at 30 N, illustrating the mechanical capacity linked to pulley structure.
• Assessment focused on individuals' fingertip force corresponding to different annular pulley shapes and configurations.
• Implications of these findings could inform future treatments for hand-related injuries, highlighting the importance of pulley's role.
