“…At the MCP joint, they also provide stability for abduction and adduction motions [ 18 ]. Furthermore, the accessory ligaments connect to the palmar plates, keeping them in a suspended state [ 19 ]. The palmar plate is a thin rectangular sheet of fibrous thickening, comprising a proximal membranous portion and a distal fibrous portion.…”

This research introduces an advanced robotic finger designed for future generalist robots, closely mimicking the natural structure of the human finger. The incorporation of rarely discussed anatomical structures, including tendon sheath, ligaments, and palmar plates, combined with the usage of anatomically proven 3D models of the finger, give rise to the highly accurate replication of human-like soft mechanical fingers. Benefiting from the accurate anatomy of muscle insertions with the utilization of Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wires’ muscle-like actuation properties, the bonding in-between the flexor tendons and extensor tendons allows for the realization of the central and lateral band of the finger anatomy. Evaluated using the computer vision method, the proposed robotic finger demonstrates a range of motion (ROM) equivalent to 113%, 87% and 88% of the human dynamic ROM for the DIP, PIP and MCP joints, respectively. The proposed finger possesses a soft nature when relaxed and becomes firm when activated, pioneering a new approach in biomimetic robot design and offering a unique contribution to the future of generalist humanoid robots.

Aim: This study aims to assess the behaviour of the thumb when subjected to axial pressures, to estimate the risk of potential damage in the long term and to quantify the information obtained from clinical analyses. Materials and Methods: The study evaluated the effect of axial loading on the thumb based on an objective assessment during measurements on a strain gauge bench and compared it to hand loading during use of a fascial therapy tool. The study was supplemented by biomechanical analysis on an X-ray of a randomly selected physiotherapist. Results: The study highlighted a decrease in thumb performance during the course of successive soft tissue therapy techniques, despite guidelines stating the need for uniform action on the tissues, and confirmed that prolonged axial pressure/loading can lead to a range of functional impairments carrying the risk of permanent damage in the long term. Compared to thumb work, tool therapy scored slightly better, although also with a downward trend indicative of inadequate ergonomics resulting from the tool’s design. Conclusions: The thumb, as the most sensitive structure of the therapist’s hand, despite anatomical conditions providing it with high stability during use, can gradually acquire dysfunctions that limit its performance. Consequently, there is a need to search for substitutes that are as equally effective.
