Description
The enthesis is the ‘footprint’ of a tendon as it attaches to a bone and have been used by anthropologists to reconstruct the activity and behaviours of past human populations. Some studies have shown that the anatomy of entheses may not be directly related to muscle activity, but more related to the size of the individual. The dominant hand in individuals would be expected to be the most active and have larger muscles, compared to the less dominant hand. We expect the enthesis anatomy to be different in size and potentially shape in the dominant hand. In this study we will investigate differences in sex, age and the overall body mass of different human body donors for hand muscles reviewed.
