An electromyographic study of the musculus interosseus dorsalis was performed on the right hand of 25 young adult male right-handed volunteers. The electrodes, simple coaxial needles, were implanted one at the ulnar head ...

Currently, most of today’s designs of rehabilitation gloves for patients with motor impairments on their fingers focus only on assisting the hand’s opening motion (single action gloves). Most of the time, these gloves ...

Objective To evaluate the biomechanical properties of the figure-of-eight and Kessler suture techniques for tendons. Methods Flexor tendons of porcine fingers were divided into two groups with triple central figure of eight ...

The study consisted in the development of a mechanical orthosis composed by rods and gears with the objective of assisting the movement of the pinch in the hands to gain range of motion and strength of the index finger. ...

Reaction time is considered an important motor ability and, along with a few others, makes up a motor bottom line that allows people to perform more complex movement tasks either with a lower or higher performance level. ...

The recognition of movements through electromyographic (EMG) signals is critical for myoelectric control systems. Performance of these systems depend on processing methods and protocols used to extract the EMG signals. The ...

This study investigated the influence of cueing on the performance of untrained and trained complex motor responses. Healthy adults responded to a visual target by performing four sequential movements (complex response) ...
