Dexterous object manipulation requires suitable control of grip force, load force and digit positions. To keep an object stable in the air, force magnitude, force direction and digit positions should be coordinated, producing compensatory torque that could balance the external torque and maintain a minimal object roll. Six males and 6 females enrolled in the study. In the experiment, subjects were...
The thumb and index finger are important digits to performed dexterous and complex manipulation of objects. However, the local muscle fatigue will induce the capacity of force production and impair the precision motor control of the thumb and index finger. This study focused on the exercise-induced local muscle fatigue influencing the COP (center of pressure) area, the SD and the PA (projection angle)...
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of carpal tunnel syndrome on hand intrinsic muscle activities using surface electromyogram (sEMG) during precision grip. Six CTS patients and six age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers participated in the experiment. The subjects were instructed to stably grip an instrumented apparatus with their thumb and index finger for 80 s. The sEMG...
