Travis Mendoza
Student Researcher
The primary aim of my project is to verify that ultrasound imagery can be used to quantify strain in the tendons of the wrist under different loads. The technique(s) we develop to prove this will then be implemented to study how different hand postures, exertions, and load cycles affect the strain of the wrist tendons. Our hope is that our study will open new possibilities for future science in the prevention of wrist tendonitis and carpal tunnel.
