Validation of grip strength as a measure of frailty in rheumatoid arthritis
Scientific Reports, 2022 Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients often exhibit finger/wrist joint symptoms and reduced grip strength. This study aimed to validate grip strength as a measure of frailty in RA patients. Subjects were 424 female RA patients (mean age ± standard deviation,

Explainable Deep Learning Model for EMG-Based Finger Angle Estimation Using Attention
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2022 Electromyography (EMG) is one of the most common methods to detect muscle activities and intentions. However, it has been difficult to estimate accurate hand motions represented by the finger joint angles using EMG signals.

Cleft hand classification and treatment: literature review [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica, 2022 Cleft hand is a rare congenital deformity characterized by a longitudinal deficiency of the central rays of the hand, which may be associated with other malformations. Due to the wide spectrum of manifestations, the treatment is challenging.

Silicone and Pyrocarbon Artificial Finger Joints [PDF]
Applied 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,

Patient-Specific Prosthetic Fingers by Remote Collaboration - A Case Study [PDF]
, 2011 The concealment of amputation through prosthesis usage can shield an amputee from social stigma and help improve the emotional healing process especially at the early stages of hand or finger loss.

IEEE 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

Joint action goals reduce visuomotor interference effects from a partner’s incongruent actions [PDF]
, 2019 Joint actions often require agents to track others’ actions while planning and executing physically incongruent actions of their own. Previous research has indicated that this can lead to visuomotor interference effects when it occurs outside of joint ...
