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

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 ...
