this is a guide specifically on the mapping of certain positions in your hand, which can be helpful to make a model on other ligaments in the body
- when you inject, you gotta know where your ligaments are. certain chemicals in some solutions will pre-calcify the "supposed to be" stretchy ligaments.
before it starts: this is roughly how you change the formula to fit other parts of the body.
1) find constraints of equation: hl = hand ligament and xl = whatever ligament location, arm, leg, whatever
2) input values: hl(around 1.4)/xl length for your average age and gender range and whatever hl value in the other formula replace
3) graph on desmos and determine length on y axis
= not what you want compounding on your ligaments! this is a form of calcium.
= this is our reference photo for where the "ideal" ligament should be.
disclaimer: it doesn't matter if it's ideal or not because years of certain positioning of typing or drawing, craftsmanship can allow some ligaments to thicken "unideally", but it is just to help whatever action you usually do.
going to update in five minutes with graph photos: fini
!!so this is how you find it: grab the name of the ligament you are graphing, ill use s. trapezoidal ligament.
in this hypothetical, I am a painter which uses digits 1 & 2 copiously, so here's the equation:
(also copiously means you double force so force here would be 2.6 and on a usual digit it would be 1.4
h = how many times you hold this position a week, so for this situation 5 days, five then.
stl(x)=1(x-h)^2 + h-2
aight so conversion factor: every 0.5 from the origin equates to 0.2mm added in thickness and or length.
also for these outer tendons of the hand that don't really latch metacarpal to another?
Flexor Digitorum Profundus (FDP) & Superficialis (FDS): ( this is just one of the tendons I chose, you can see it if you flip your fingers up )
- it grows differently, this is how.
f(x)-0.5= length grown, watch this.
the lengthening happens once thickening happens and not very much because, theres not much of a reason to lengthen.
good luck!

- Length: These intrinsic carpal ligaments are very short, typically measuring 1.0 mm to 3.5 mm in length.
- Thickness/Width: Most measure between 1 mm and 3 mm.
- Sex Differences: In adult males, the trapezoid bone itself measures roughly 8–14 mm in height and 9–17 mm in width, so the tiny ligaments bridging these small carpal bones remain just a few millimeters long.

Flexor Digitorum Profundus (FDP) & Superficialis (FDS): ( this is just one of the tendons I chose, you can see it if you flip your fingers up )
- Total Tendon Length: Roughly 15 cm to 25 cm (6 to 10 inches) from the forearm muscle-tendon junction down to the fingertip.
- Intra-hand Portion (Wrist to Fingertip): Measures about 8 cm to 12 cm in an adult male.
