To Grip, or Not to Grip: Evolving Coordination in Autonomous Robots [PDF]
, 2011 In evolutionary robotics, as in the animal world, performing a task which is beneficial to the entire group demands the coordination of different individuals. Whenever time-dependent dynamic allocation of roles is needed and individual roles are not pre-defined, coordination can often be hard to achieve.

A Biologically Inspired Dexterous Robot Hand with High Grip Force [PDF]
한국정밀공학회지, 2019 This paper presents a robot hand inspired from grasp and grip mechanism of human hand. In human hand, grasp and grip are different terms: Human hand can grasp an object adaptively by individual pulling of each finger’s tendon.

Effect of Grip Span on Lateral Pinch Grip Strength [PDF]
Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 2002 Repetitive, high-force pinch grip exertions are common in many occupational activities. The goal of the current study was to quantify the relationship between lateral pinch grip span (distance between thumb and index finger) and lateral pinch grip strength.

Hand Strength Deficit in Patients with Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Diagnostics, 2021 Neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (NTOS) is a chronic painful and disabling condition. Patients complain about upper-limb paresthesia or weakness. Weakness has been considered one of the diagnostic criteria of NTOS, but objective comparisons to healthy
