Analysis of cumulative strain in tendons and tendon sheaths
(Elsevier, 1987)
Twenty-five fresh frozen flexor digitorum profundus tendons stratified by sex were subjected to uniaxial step stress and cyclic loads in twelve intact human cadaver hands. By attaching specially designed clip strain gage ...
An investigation of the relationship between displacements of the finger and wrist joints and the extrinsic finger flexor tendons
(Elsevier, 1978)
Several investigators have developed biomechanical models of finger flexor tendon displacements during pinching or gripping exertions of hands. Landsmeer has developed the most comprehensive set of models for this purpose. ...
A kinematic model of the human hand to evaluate its prehensile capabilities
(Elsevier, 1992-02)
A kinematic model has been developed for simulation and prediction of the prehensile capabilities of the human hand. The kinematic skeleton of the hand is characterized by ideal joints and simple segments. Finger-joint ...
A method of measuring fingertip loading during keyboard use
(Elsevier, 1994-08)
A single keycap on a standard alphanumeric computer keyboard was instrumented with a piezoelectric load cell and the fingertip motion was recorded with a high-speed video motion analysis system. Contact force histories ...
A comparison of three dimensional maximum reach estimation techniques
(Elsevier, 1980)
Spline, periodic spline and spherical harmonic maximum reach estimation procedures are compared and evaluated based on ease of usage, estimation error and bias. The comparison indicates that each method provides comparable ...
Some biomechanical aspects of the carpal tunnel
(Elsevier, 1979)
Previously presented evidence indicates that carpal tunnel syndrome is related to compression of the median nerve inside the carpal tunnel. Biomechanical arguments in which the extrinsic finger flexor tendons inside the ...
