ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for measuring mobility of a subject's scaphoid. The apparatus includes a force applicator that applies a variable force to the scaphoid, a load cell that generates a first signal corresponding to the magnitude of the force, and a displacement sensor that generates a second signal corresponding to a displacement of the scaphoid in response to the applied variable force.
