Artificial hands can be operated via app or with sensors placed in the muscles of the forearm. New research shows: a better understanding of muscle activity patterns in the forearm supports a more ...

Introduction Human grip involves coordinated activity of the wrist extensor muscles to overcome finger flexor torque and maintain an optimal wrist position3. Lateral epicondylalgia (LE) is ...

Neurobiologists have shown that insect limbs can move without muscles -- a finding that may provide engineers with new ways to improve the control of robotic and prosthetic limbs. Neurobiologists from ...

The extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle aids in moving the hand. Specifically, it abducts and extends the hand at the wrist joint. The muscle works in concert with the extensor carpi radialis longus ...
