The human hand is a complex structure that performs various functions for activities of daily
living and occupations. This paper presents a literature review on the methodologies used to …

An overview of mathematical modelling of the human hand is given. We consider hand
models from a specific background: rather than studying hands for surgical or similar goals …

The rapid introduction of sophisticated computers, services, telecommunications systems,
and manufacturing systems has caused a major shift in the way people use and work with …

The present work displayed the first quantitative data of forces acting on tendons and pulleys
during specific sport-climbing grip techniques. A three-dimensional static biomechanical …

Computational models of the neuromuscular system hold the potential to allow us to reach a
deeper understanding of neuromuscular function and clinical rehabilitation by …

Several works have been reported in powered hand orthosis in the last ten years for
assistive or rehabilitative purposes. However, most of these approaches uses conventional …

Current thinking attributes information processing for neuromuscular control exclusively to
the nervous system. Our cadaveric experiments and computer simulations show, however …

The exquisite mechanical functionality and versatility of the human hand emerges from
complex neuro–musculo–skeletal interactions that are not completely understood. I have …

We analyzed the adaptability of human thumb and index finger movement kinematics and
dynamics to variations of precision grip aperture and movement velocity. Six subjects …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to estimate muscle and joint forces during a power grip
task. Considering the actual lack of quantification of such internal variables, this information …
