The aim of this study was to identify the exact origin of force sense and identify whether it
arises centrally or peripherally. The present study was designed to analyze the effects of …

Pinch force sense plays an important role in the performance of daily finger movements,
including tip, key, palmar pinch. The present study investigated the roles of pinch type in the …

The purpose of the current investigation was to evaluate the effect of pinch span on the
perception of pinch force in typical participants. The healthy participants (10 males and 10 …

The fact that humans can execute accurate movements and generate precise muscle forces
is very important for hand function. Target-tracking tasks or target-matching tasks are often …

This study investigated the effects of both force level and gender on pinch force reproduction
errors in normal participants during an ipsilateral force reproduction task. In total, 20 healthy …

This study investigated how varying the required force level and the direction of force
change produced by the thumb and index finger affect the accuracy and variability of a cyclic …

Introduction Given that pinch is a precision grip involved in sustained submaximal activities,
a Sustained Contraction (SC) task could be associated to Maximal Voluntary Contraction …

Purpose Previous research has indicated that older adults have significantly lower accuracy
in terms of force control than young adults. In addition, accuracy of force control is known to …

Background No previous studies have investigated the test–retest reliability of tip, key, and
palmar pinch force sense in healthy adults. The present study explores the test-retest …

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether people change their isometric
pinch grip generation depending on the surface they gripped. Specifically, the effect of grip …
