Prehension synergy: effects of static constraints on multi-finger prehension.

Previous studies have shown that the interactions of human hand digits are influenced by internal constraints, i.e., biomechanical and central constraints. However, little is currently known about the influence of externally imposed mechanical constraints on multi-finger behavior. This study investigates maximal digit force production during fixed object and free object prehension in statics. T...

Contrasting effects of fatigue on multifinger coordination in young and older adults.

We investigated the effects of fatigue produced by timed maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) of the index finger of the right hand on performance in MVC and accurate cyclic force production tasks in right-handed young (Young group) and strength-matched elderly (Elderly group) participants. We hypothesized that, before fatigue, the Elderly group would show weaker force-stabilizing synergies and ...

Age-related changes in multi-finger interactions in adults during maximum voluntary finger force production tasks.

This study aimed to continue our characterization of finger strength and multi-finger interactions across the lifespan to include those in their 60s and older. Building on our previous study of children, we examined young and elderly adults during isometric finger flexion and extension tasks. Sixteen young and 16 elderly, gender-matched participants produced maximum force using either a single ...

Multi-Finger Interaction and Synergies in Finger Flexion and Extension Force Production

The aim of this study was to discover finger interaction indices during single-finger ramp tasks and multi-finger coordination during a steady state force production in two directions, flexion, and extension. Furthermore, the indices of anticipatory adjustment of elemental variables (i.e., finger forces) prior to a quick pulse force production were quantified. It is currently unknown whether th...

Effect of kinetic redundancy on hand digit control in children with DCD.

We investigated finger strength and the ability to control digit force/torque production in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) using manipulative tasks with different kinetic redundancies (KNR). Age-related changes in finger strength and finger force/torque control in typically developing (TD) children were also examined to provide a developmental landscape that allows a co...
