Flexible and highly sensitive ionic skins with multiple dielectric layers for finger joint bending angle monitoring

open access: yesAlexandria Engineering Journal, 2021
Finger joint motion monitoring is crucial for rehabilitation training and ergonomics. Based on a multilayer dielectric structure, this study proposed flexible and highly sensitive ionic skins (sensors) for the measurement of the bending angles of finger ...

Silicone and Pyrocarbon Artificial Finger Joints [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2021
Artificial finger joint design has been developed through different stages through the past. PIP (proximal interphalangeal) and MCP (metacarpophalangeal) artificial finger joints have come to replace the amputation and arthrodesis options; although, these artificial joints are still facing challenges related to reactive tissues, reduced range of motion,

Development and Evaluation of an Adaptive Multi-DOF Finger with Mechanical-Sensor Integrated for Prosthetic Hand

open access: yesMicromachines, 2020
To realize the adaptive grasping of objects with diverse shapes and to capture the joint angles of the finger, a multi degree of freedom (DOF) adaptive finger for prosthetic hand is proposed in this paper. The fingers are designed with three joints.

Biomechanical Analysis of the Effect of Finger Joint Configuration on Hand Grasping Performance: Rigid vs Flexible

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023
Human finger joints are conventionally simplified as rigid joints in robotic hand design and biomechanical hand modelling, due to their anatomic and morphologic complexity. However, our understanding of the effect of the finger joint configuration on the

Bio-Inspired Tendon-Driven Finger Design With Isomorphic Ligamentous Joint

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
This paper suggests a novel type of bio-inspired finger design in that the joints that compose the finger mimic the features of human finger joints. They have isomorphic structures but different movements, further, there is no friction between bones in ...

Biomechanical Study of Extensor Tendon Lacerations Over the Finger Metacarpophalangeal Joints

open access: yesJournal of Hand Surgery Global Online, 2019
Purpose: To assess the percentages of extensor tendon lacerations over the finger metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints that may lead to an MCP joint extensor lag. Methods: We obtained 8t fresh-frozen cadaveric hand specimens.

Study on the Effect of Finger Joints on the Stiffness of Fibre-Managed E. nitens Sawn Boards

open access: yesBuildings, 2022
Fibre-managed E. nitens has the potential to be used as a feedstock for engineered wood products. This resource, however, has a number of strength-reducing features that need to be removed, and the board needs to be re-joint to be useful in greater ...

The Effect of Joint Form and Parameter Values on Mechanical Properties of Bamboo-Bundle Laminated Veneer Lumber (BLVL)

open access: yesBioResources, 2014
Bamboo-bundle laminated veneer lumber (BLVL) was produced by joint lengthening technology. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of joint form and the values of key parameters on mechanical properties of BLVL.

Neural network committees for finger joint angle estimation from surface EMG signals

open access: yesBioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2009
Background In virtual reality (VR) systems, the user's finger and hand positions are sensed and used to control the virtual environments. Direct biocontrol of VR environments using surface electromyography (SEMG) signals may be more synergistic and ...
