Implications of metacarpophalangeal joint kinematics to the force production capabilities of a 3D index-finger model

摘要

Though models incorporating more complex descriptions of the MCP may better predict interossei coactivation, the force production capabilities of these models may be affected. This study compares the effect of each MCP description on theproduction of maximal index-finger point-forces useful during tip and key pinch of small or slippery objects.
