2A2-D04 Musculoskeletal Motion Analysis of Index Fingers by Using Cadaver Specimens(Musculoskeletal Modeling)

Abstract

We present a new apparatus, excursion controller, to measure and analyze musculoskeletal motion of cadaveric fingers. The result of the preliminary experiment clearly shows that the range of excursion of the interosseous for abduction-adduction and that of the extensors for hyperextension were estimated to be 5 to 8mm, while that of the flexors for full-flexion were estimated to be 35mm from the reference posture.
