Anatomical Movements00:51

Anatomical Movements

15.5K
Anatomical movements refer to the various actions or motions that can be performed by the body's joints and muscles. These movements are described using specific terms to provide a standardized way of discussing and understanding the range of motion at different joints.
Here are some common anatomical movements:
Flexion and extension motions are in the sagittal (anterior–posterior) plane of motion. These movements take place at the shoulder, hip, elbow, knee, wrist,...

Potential Due to a Polarized Object01:29

Potential Due to a Polarized Object

770
A neutral atom consists of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by a negatively charged electron cloud. When placed in an external electric field, the external electric force pulls the electrons and nucleus apart, opposite to the intrinsic attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. The opposing forces balance each other with a slight shift between the center of masses of the nucleus and the electron cloud, resulting in a polarized atom. On the other hand, a few molecules, like water,...

Potential Due to a Magnetized Object

792
Magnetic dipoles in magnetic materials are aligned when placed under an external magnetic field. For paramagnets and ferromagnets, dipole alignment occurs in the direction of the magnetic field. However, the dipoles align opposite to the field in the case of diamagnets. This state of magnetic polarization due to the external field is called magnetization. Magnetization is defined as the dipole moment per unit volume. It plays a similar role to polarization in electrostatics.

The Movement of Organelles and Vesicles01:43

The Movement of Organelles and Vesicles

6.4K
In eukaryotic cells,  cytoskeletal filaments such as actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments form a mesh-like cytoskeletal network. These filaments serve as tracks for transporting cellular cargo. Specialized motor proteins use the chemical energy stored in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for this transport. During interphase, microtubules are polarized, with the plus-end towards the cell periphery and the minus-end towards the cell center. Two microtubule-associated motor proteins,...

Movement Joints in Buildings01:27

Movement Joints in Buildings

342
Movement joints in buildings are essential design elements that accommodate inevitable motions caused by various factors such as temperature changes, moisture content variations, and structural deflections. These motions, if not considered in design and construction, can lead to unsightly or dangerous damage. Movement joints are incorporated in different forms to manage these stresses and allow materials to move without causing distress.
The simplest type of movement joints, working joints, are...

Fluid Movement Between Compartments01:18

Fluid Movement Between Compartments

4.0K
The force applied by fluids against a surface, known as hydrostatic pressure, initiates the transfer of fluid among different compartments. Within our blood vessels, the blood's hydrostatic pressure is a result of the heart's pumping action. At the arteriolar end of capillaries, hydrostatic pressure (capillary blood pressure) exceeds the opposing colloid osmotic pressure created primarily by plasma proteins like albumin. This discrepancy in pressure propels plasma and nutrients from the...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

This study shows that combining vision and touch (visuo-haptic signals) optimizes grasping movements, making them faster and more precise. Haptic information is key for early movement planning, while vision aids final adjustments.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Human Motor Control
  • Sensorimotor Integration

Background:

  • Grasping movements typically rely on visual input.
  • Haptic feedback from the contralateral hand can also guide grasping.
  • Understanding sensorimotor integration is crucial for explaining complex motor behaviors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how visual, haptic, and combined visuo-haptic signals influence grasping movements.
  • To compare the kinematic parameters of grasping under different sensory conditions.
  • To elucidate the distinct roles of vision and haptics in different phases of grasping.

Main Methods:

  • Participants performed grasping movements towards objects using visual, haptic, or visuo-haptic feedback.
  • Kinematic data, including hand preshaping and grip aperture, were recorded and analyzed.
  • Movement initiation, speed, and final approach were compared across sensory conditions.

Main Results:

  • Haptic-only grasping resulted in earlier hand preshaping, slower digit closure, and a more cautious final approach compared to vision-only.
  • Visuo-haptic grasping led to faster movements and reduced grip aperture.
  • Haptics were more critical for initial movement phases, while vision dominated online control.

Conclusions:

  • Vision and haptics are flexibly integrated to optimize grasping.
  • Each sensory modality contributes uniquely to different stages of the grasping process.
  • Combined sensory information enhances the efficiency and precision of prehension.
