The exquisite mechanical functionality and versatility of the human hand emerges from
complex neuro–musculo–skeletal interactions that are not completely understood. I have …

Human Hand Function is a multidisciplinary book that reviews the sensory and motor
aspects of normal hand function from both neurophysiological and behavioral perspectives …

The objective of the study is to examine the effects of age and gender on finger coordination.
Twelve young (24±8 yr; 6 men and 6 women) and 12 elderly (75±5 yr; 6 men and 6 women) …

We used the uncontrolled manifold (UCM) approach to study the synergy formation during
learning an unusual multi-finger task. The subjects produced accurate force ramps with …

Previous reports show that the forces produced by the fingers of one hand drop
exponentially over time in the absence of visual feedback on the forces. We study the force …

The grip force holding an object between fingers usually increases before or simultaneously
with arm movement thus preventing the object from sliding. We experimentally analyzed and …

Objective: The main purpose of this study was to investigate changes in finger interaction
after stroke with strongly unilateral motor effects. Effects of age on finger interaction were …

The purpose of this study was to explore the ability of the central nervous system (CNS) to
organize synergies at two levels of a hypothetical control hierarchy involved in two-hand …

Bilateral deficit is defined as the difference in the summed force between contracting
muscles alone and contracting contralateral homologous muscles in combination. The …

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether characteristics of finger interaction
seen in voluntary finger force production tasks could also be observed during motor …
