Letter to editor: The biomechanics of osteoarthritis in the hand: Implications and prospects for hand therapy

We read with interest the manuscript by Kerkhof et al.1 regarding the biomechanics of osteoarthritis in the hand. We appreciate the excellent synopsis of the literature regarding hand osteoarthritis and the implications of hand musculature in the stabilization of joints. The authors are to be congratulated for their compilation of evidence related to the biomechanics of osteoarthritis and the implications and prospects for hand therapy; they lay out an outstanding litany of evidence in the peer-reviewed literature regarding the rehabilitation of the arthritic thumb.
