Primate fingers are typically in direct contact with the environment during both locomotion
and manipulation, and aspects of external phalangeal morphology are known to reflect …

The human hand and its dexterity in grasping and manipulating objects are some of the
hallmarks of the human species. For years, anatomic and biomechanical studies have …

Motion capture of all degrees of freedom of the hand collected during performance of daily
living activities remains challenging. Instrumented gloves are an attractive option because of …

To improve our understanding on the neuromechanics of finger movements, a
comprehensive musculoskeletal model is needed. The aim of this study was to build a …

A sensory evaluation test on spherical and columnar objects with different cross-sectional
shapes was conducted to investigate their gripping comfort. The relationships of the gripping …

Abstract Study Design Cross-sectional research design. Introduction Current assessment of
hand function is not focused on evaluating the real abilities required for autonomy. Purpose …

Instrumented gloves are motion capture systems that are widely used due to the simplicity of
the setup required and the absence of occlusion problems when manipulating objects …

A musculoskeletal model of the hand and wrist can provide valuable biomechanical and
neurophysiological insights, relevant for clinicians and ergonomists. Currently, no consistent …

One of the main features of the human hand is its grasping ability. Robot grasping has been
studied for years and different quality measures have been proposed to evaluate the stability …

This paper investigates a biomechanical aspect of human hand during grasping, using the
finite-element method. A realistic three-dimensional finite–element (FE) model of a human …
