Analyzing the biomechanics of the thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint is essential for
elucidating the etiology of osteoarthritis (OA) and for developing a mechanics-based …

When designing the shape of a product that is comfortable to grasp, a quantitative
evaluation that can be performed in a short-time and at low-cost is required. In this study, we …

In this study, three individual hand finite element models with different dimensions were
developed to perform grasping simulations. The performance of the three models was …

In this study, a grasping motion simulation method based on finite element analysis was
developed for the virtual evaluation of gripping comfort while gripping a cylindrical object …

Osteoarthritis (OA) of the thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint is a common disease in hand
OA. Low joint congruity could increase articular stress in the CMC joint and is thus …

Softness perception of human is used to perceive material characteristics of touched surface
and is applied to devices for haptic feedback and robots with tactile perception. However …
