Torque control of underactuated tendon-driven fingers [PDF]
Mechanical Sciences, 2011 Given an underactuated tendon-driven finger, the finger posture is underdetermined and can move freely ("flop") in a region of slack tendons. This work shows that such an underactuated finger can be operated in tendon force control (rather than position ...

Medicina, 2022 Background and Objectives: Although distal interphalangeal (DIP) arthrodesis is an effective surgical method for end-stage osteoarthritis of the phalangeal joint, the nonunion rate of DIP arthrodesis has been reported to range from 15% to 20%.

PLoS ONE, 2016 Background The flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) and flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) are critical for finger flexion. Although research has recently focused on these tendons’ coactivity, their contributions in different tasks remain unclear.

A comparative study on water and dry coupling in photoacoustic tomography of the finger joints [PDF]
Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, 2020 We present a systematical study on comparison between water and dry coupling in photoacoustic tomography of the human finger joints. Compared to the direct water immersion of the finger for water coupling, the dry coupling is realized through a ...

Tracker: Model-based Reinforcement Learning for Tracking Control of Human Finger Attached with Thin McKibben Muscles [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 To adopt the soft hand exoskeleton to support activities of daily livings, it is necessary to control finger joints precisely with the exoskeleton. The problem of controlling joints to follow a given trajectory is called the tracking control problem. In this study, we focus on the tracking control problem of a human finger attached with thin McKibben ...

Initial results of finger imaging using Photoacoustic Computed Tomography [PDF]
Journal of Biomedical Optics, 19(6), 60501, 2014 We present a photoacoustic computed tomography investigation on a healthy human finger, to image blood vessels with a focus on vascularity across the interphalangeal joints. The cross-sectional images were acquired using an imager specifically developed for this purpose.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Tumor microenvironment drives cancer formation and progression. We analyzed the role of human cancer‐associated adipocytes from patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) stratified as lean, overweight, or obese. RNA‐seq demonstrated that, among the most altered genes involved in the tumor–stroma crosstalk, are ADAM12 and CYP1B1, which were proven to be ...

Digital testing device to measure the active range of motion of finger joints using an RGB-D camera
Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2022 Range of motion (ROM) is an essential index for assessing the effectiveness of therapeutics in clinical practice. Rehabilitation therapists commonly use a goniometer to manually measure the ROM of finger joints.
