Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objectives was to obtain MRI images of the index finger of the subjects without loading and with loadings (normal and shear forces from 1 to 4N).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group no manual work or activity

Subject with an office or student job.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Compression of the fingertip under MRI.

Intervention Type OTHER

Compression of the fingertip by a static loading on the phalanx distal of the index of the subjects; Then also a shear stress in the transverse direction of the finger. The data provided by the MRI images will be geometric information such as the thickness of the skin and its possible variation as a function of the area of the finger, the total thickness of soft tissues in compression as a function of the variation in l The angle between the axis of the phalanx and the plane of contact; Mechanical type information relating to the displacements and reaction forces, to the internal deformations of the different areas of the finger.

Group manual work

Subject working in a manual or predominantly manual.

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR
