The artificial air muscles for the hand and arm are made fromOogoo, an inexpensive mix of silicone caulk and corn starch that can be cast into many shapes. For this robot, the Oogoo was cast into layers to create stacked air bladders that can be expanded or contracted with pressure or va...
The muscles I have made so far are pressure muscles. I made them this way because they are the simplest type of actuator. Vacuum muscles that have larger volume cavities that collapse under a vacuum can also be made. This makes them closer to animal muscles that can be used with "tendons...

muscles and tendons, the bands of connective or fibrous but tough tissues which join the muscles to the bones and allow for movement of the limbs, attach. Though bones are inflexible and rigid, without these fibers, the bone would not have a protective covering and the muscles would be ...

It also weakly assists in flexing the arm forward at the glenohumeral or shoulder joint. This minimal involvement at the shoulder, where other large muscles like the pectoralis major and anterior deltoid produce most of the forward-flexing movement, means that the force created by the biceps and...
Wrist ganglion cysts most commonly appear on the back (top, dorsal) side, but also on the palmar (volar) side of the wrist[5]. Wrist ganglions can arise from the muscle tendons or, rarely, from the wrist bones[7]. Picture 3. A ganglion cyst on the palmar (volar) side of the wris...
Symptoms of a rotator cuff injury are due to the inflammation that accompanies the strain. This inflammation causes swelling, leading to the clinical picture of pain and decreased range of motion. Because the muscles and tendons of the rotator cuff are hidden well below skin level, it may be ...
The rotator cuff refers to a group of four tendons and muscles that form a "cuff" to stabilize the shoulder joint and keep the arm in the shoulder socket, while allowing it to move in different directions. The shoulder joint is stable because of the rotator cuff, but it is also relativel...
Hyperextension is the movement of joints, tendons, or muscles beyond their normal limit. Injuries from hyperextension can cause...
