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,

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

Biomechanical Study of Extensor Tendon Lacerations Over the Finger Metacarpophalangeal Joints
Journal 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.

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