Objective: The purpose of this work was to develop an open-source musculoskeletal model
of the hand and wrist and to evaluate its performance during simulations of functional tasks …

Background. Grip‐force performance can be affected by aging, and hand‐grip weakness is
associated with functional limitations of dasily living. However, using an appropriate digital …

The field of ergonomics studies how the human body interacts with its physical environment.
Often there is a focus on hand-held tools. In the case of hominin artifacts, factors relating to …

The suite of anatomical features contributing to the unique gripping capabilities of the
modern human hand evolved alongside the proliferation of Lower Palaeolithic flaked tool …

The impact of grip force (GF) on occupational and clinical settings is evident in various
ergonomics and medical applications. Enhancing work productivity and fostering employee …

While no consensus allows explaining how and when human-like traits arose in fossil
hominin hands, the recent discoveries of the Lomekwian stone tools (3.3 Ma) support the …

Introduction Grip strength and load distribution of the hand are important parameters for
evaluating hand function. The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare grip force …

To comprehensively investigate the grasping behavior of the human hand during tomato
picking, a new 16-channel data acquisition e-glove was developed and subsequently worn …

A sensory evaluation test on spherical and columnar objects with different cross-sectional
shapes was conducted to investigate their gripping comfort. The relationships of the gripping …

Grip force and force sharing during two activities of daily living were analysed
experimentally in 10 right-handed subjects. Four different bottles, filled to two different levels …
