Prehensile functions of hand are based on thumb–finger relationships which are regarded
as an essential element in various manipulations of our daily living activities. Although the …

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 …

PURPOSE: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) impairs the performance of fine motor tasks of the
hand, leading to clumsiness. Precision pinch by the thumb and index finger is a frequent …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the impact of proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint arthrodesis on the
kinematics of precision pinch. METHODS: Eleven healthy subjects performed index finger …

Peripheral sensory feedback plays a crucial role in ensuring correct motor execution
throughout hand grasp control. Previous studies utilized local anesthesia to deprive …

This paper presents the evident effects of acupoint stimulation, using EEG (
electroencephalogram) measurements. With acupuncture stimulation and the EEG …

Background Precision grip by the thumb and index finger is vulnerable to sensorimotor
deficits. Traditional biomechanical parameters offer limited insight into the dynamical …

Sensory afferent inputs play an important role in neuromuscular functions. Subsensory level
