Title

The relationship between wrist position, grasp size, and grip strength.

Summary

Maximal wrist strength is n greater extension than recommended for fusion. This is to allow for function. Getting 2/3 power post fusion should be considered v.good

Good on wrist position, but only 20 people so not really powerful on the size comparison. Appreciate probs of function and pt satisfaction.
