A chapter of the book "How Muscles and Bones Hold You Up: A Book About Models," by Marcia S. Freeman is presented, which focuses on the role of muscles and tendons in human movements. Ligaments hold bones together, but muscles make them move. Muscles are attached to bones by tendons. ...
Experiments on human fresh frozen cadaveric upper extremities (n = 6) were performed. First, one finger (target) was flexed whereas the other (nontarget) fingers were held in a nearly extended position. The change (Δ) in total flexion angle (∑Θ; i.e., the sum of angles of...
Development of redundant shoulder complex of human-like robot driven by flexible wire tendons. For dual-arm robot systems, which continue to become more common in the field of industrial robotics, a redundant shoulder complex could be very important ... T Choi,JW Lee,D Kim,... - 《...
Soft grasping mechanism of human fingers for tomato-picking bionic robots 2021, Computers and Electronics in Agriculture Citation Excerpt : Furthermore, a conspicuous difference exists in the size and shape of the phalanxes in the 14 finger regions. According to the finger anatomical images given by...
Many of the muscles that move the fingers are not in the hand, but in the forearm. They work the fingers by remote control, using long tendons extending from the ends of the muscles to attach to the…
However, it has to be clearly stated, with these injuries typically resulting from a fall onto the outstretched arm, an additional valgus load onto the elbow is exerted. This effect was not reproduced in the present study. Several limitations of this study must be acknowledged. This includes ...
The long tendons of the limb extend from muscles that reside in the zeugopod (arm/leg) to their skeletal insertions in the autopod (paw). How these connections are established along the length of the limb remains unknown. Here, we show that mouse limb tendons are formed in modular units ...
Anatomic and magnetic resonance imaging of the plantar surface of metatarsophalangeal joint in ostrich (Struthio camelus) Tenons and ligaments were studied by different methods such as diagnostic imaging in human, horse, dog and cat as well as in other animals. MRI is the best... H Mohyeddin...
In the current study, we investigate the molecular composition of the extensor tendons at the level of the MCP joints. This is of particular interest because the tendon has a greater moment arm at this location (and might thus be subject to greater compression), but is separated from the ...
Design, Development and Control of a Human-Inspired Two-Arm Robot via Pneumatic Artificial Muscles This report describes the design of a small-size quadruped robot driven by 13 pneumatic artificial muscles for high speed running. Each leg is driven by th... G Andrikopoulos,G Nikolakopoulos - ...
