The development of malalignment of the wrist is understood to be a combination of pathological changes induced by the disease process, compressive forces on the carpus exerted by the forearm muscle tendons crossing the wrist and the geometry of the articular surfaces. Understanding how changes in compressive forces affect malalignment is important,
in view of improving physiotherapeutic treatment of the wrist in children with juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA). Quantitative analysis, taking into account the various factors involved, has recently been made possible by the development of interactive graphics based musculoskeletal models.
