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

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

Validation of the Pediatric Arthritis Ultrasound Scoring System for the Elbow, Wrist, and Finger Joints in Children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. [PDF]
Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken)Objective We aimed to validate the Pediatric Arthritis Ultrasound Scoring System (PAUSS) for upper extremity joints in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Methods Children with JIA were evaluated for elbow, wrist, or finger arthritis by clinical examination (CE) and musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) with images scored according to the ...

Dataglove Measurement of Joint Angles in Sign Language Handshapes [PDF]
, 2012 In sign language research, we understand little about articulatory factors involved in shaping phonemic boundaries or the amount (and articulatory nature) of acceptable phonetic variation between handshapes.

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 ...
