Abstract:Abstract. This study aimed at testing the pertinence of mimicking motor control theories in biomechanical models as a strategic direction for improving the understanding of muscle involvement. The theory of "minimization of the secondary moments of the hand" was added to an initial biomechanical model and was tested for several anatomic hand configurations (intact hand, paralyzed hand with radial nerve palsy, and transferred hand after tendon transfers). Results showed that the muscle sharing is governed by th… Show more
