... loading through tendon-driven simulations and grasping biomechanics using metacarpal loads. Validation is carried out by assessing the radial and ulnar axial loading distribution, radiocarpal articulation contact patterns, and other standard finite element metrics. The results show radial transmission...

... voluntary grasping force over cylinders of different diameters. The model is used to simulate the cylinder grip for two hand sizes and for five different handle diameters. The reduction of the muscle forces using different handle diameters has been studied. The model can be applied to the design...
