modeled the human hand as a set of five kinematic chains, one for each finger (See Figure 5). The chains lead from the basis of the index finger metacarpal, ...

The fingers are numbered from F1 (thumb) to F5 (little finger). The modeled joints are illustrated as colored circles with numbers indicating the considered ...

The model is consistent with the hand anatomy [6] and is illustrated in Fig. 2. Using this model, the location (a k , b k , c k ) T and orientation (m k , n k , ...

It has been found after analysis that the thumb and middle finger were active, while the index finger operated passively when manipulating small objects in ...

This study aims to provide quantitative indication of effectiveness of the hand as a communication channel. We estimated that per gesture, the thumb and the ...

Nov 13, 2018 · This paper proposes a method to personally rank the order of hand movements from subsets (31 finger flexion, 31 finger extension, and 4 wrist ...

The purpose of the present study was to develop a realistic index finger model for solving practical problems. The model includes the meshes of four bony ...

Most hand biomechanical models use an MSK representation for either the index finger (Fowler and Nicol 2000;Synek and Pahr 2016), the thumb-index pinch complex ...
