ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring the use of 3D printed models of carpal bones, which are the small bones in the wrist, to help medical students and professionals learn about complex anatomy. By creating these detailed models from MRI and CT scans, the trial aims to improve the understanding of how these bones work and how to treat related conditions. The study is currently looking for participants aged between 65 and 91, who are interested in contributing to this educational research.

To be eligible to join the trial, participants need to have a good level of depth perception as measured by a specific test and must be willing to participate. However, those who have had previous experience with carpal bone models, have had trauma to their upper extremities in the last six months, or who have lost total or partial eyesight are not eligible. Participants can expect to engage in activities that will help improve training methods for future medical professionals, and they will be contributing to a better understanding of wrist anatomy.
