Incidence and Morphology of Accessory Head of Flexor Pollicis Longus in Telangana, India [PDF]
Introduction: Flexor Pollicis Longus (FPL) may have accessory slips which arise from lateral or medial border of coronoid process of ulna and medial epicondyle of humerus. The accessory slip of FPL is known as Accessory Head of Flexor Pollicis Longus

Missed Monteggia Injuries in Children and Adolescents: A Treatment Algorithm
Monteggia injuries are rare childhood injuries. In 25–50% of cases, however, they continue to be overlooked, leading to a chronic Monteggia injury. Initially, the chronic Monteggia injury is only characterized by a moderate motion deficit, which is often

Introduction Pseudarthrosis and bone defects are the most common consequence of neurofibromatosis type I in children, a rare hereditary disease. Destruction of bone tissue leads to severe deformities and impaired function of the limbs.

Farthest Streamline Sampling for the Uniform Distribution of Forearm Muscle Fiber Tracts from Diffusion Tensor Imaging [PDF]
Background: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has been used to characterize forearm muscle architecture. Since only uniform sampling is performed for seed points rather than fiber tracts, the tracts may be unevenly distributed in the muscle volume. Purpose: To reconstruct uniformly distributed fiber tracts in human forearm by filtering the tracts from DTI.

Enhancing the Performance of a Biomimetic Robotic Elbow-and-Forearm System Through Bionics-Inspired Optimization [PDF]
This paper delineates the formulation and verification of an innovative robotic forearm and elbow design, mirroring the intricate biomechanics of human skeletal and ligament systems. Conventional robotic models often undervalue the substantial function of soft tissues, leading to a compromise between compactness, safety, stability, and range of motion.

An implementation of movement classification for prosthesis control using custom-made EMG system [PDF]
Electromyography (EMG) is a well known technique used for recording electrical activity produced by human muscles. In the last few decades, EMG signals are used as a control input for prosthetic hands.

Real-Time Hand Gesture Recognition Using Temporal Muscle Activation Maps of Multi-Channel sEMG Signals [PDF]
Accurate and real-time hand gesture recognition is essential for controlling advanced hand prostheses. Surface Electromyography (sEMG) signals obtained from the forearm are widely used for this purpose. Here, we introduce a novel hand gesture representation called Temporal Muscle Activation (TMA) maps which captures information about the activation ...

Towards an understanding of how humans perceive stiffness during bimanual exploration [PDF]
In this paper, an experimental testbed and associated psychophysical paradigm are presented for understanding how people discriminate torsional stiffness using wrist rotation about their forearm. Featured in the testbed are two 1-DoF rotary kinesthetic haptic devices.
