Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers01:17

Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers

1.1K
The muscles of the forearm that move the wrist, hand, and digits are numerous and diverse. They can be classified into two groups based on their location and function — the anterior and posterior compartment muscles.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi...

Somatosensation01:33

Somatosensation

36.9K
The somatosensory system relays sensory information from the skin, mucous membranes, limbs, and joints. Somatosensation is more familiarly known as the sense of touch. A typical somatosensory pathway includes three types of long neurons: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary neurons have cell bodies located near the spinal cord in groups of neurons called dorsal root ganglia. The sensory neurons of ganglia innervate designated areas of skin called dermatomes.

Muscles that Move the Forearm01:16

Muscles that Move the Forearm

1.7K
The muscles that move the forearms can be divided into four groups: forearm flexors, forearm extensors, forearm pronators, and forearm supinators. The flexors and extensors act on the elbow joint, while the pronators and supinators act on the radioulnar joints.
Forearm Flexors
The biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis are forearm flexors. The biceps brachii is made up of two heads. Its long head originates at the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula, whereas that of the short head is...

Three-Dimensional Force System01:30

Three-Dimensional Force System

2.1K
In mechanical engineering, a three-dimensional force system is a system of forces acting in three dimensions, with forces applied along the x, y, and z coordinate axes. The three-dimensional force system is an important concept in mechanical engineering, as it allows engineers to understand and analyze the behavior of objects and structures in three dimensions. By understanding the forces acting on a system, engineers can design more efficient and effective mechanical systems that can withstand...

Design Example: Resistive Touchscreen01:14

Design Example: Resistive Touchscreen

369
A device engineer plays a crucial role in designing user interfaces for mobile devices. One such interface is the resistive touchscreen, which fundamentally consists of two metallic layers: a flexible upper layer and a rigid lower layer, separated by a narrow gap. The high resistance between these two layers is a key characteristic of this design.
When a user touches the screen, the two layers make contact at a specific point known as the touchpoint. This contact reduces the resistance between...

Spinal Nerves: Plexus I01:22

Spinal Nerves: Plexus I

1.1K
Nerve plexuses are networks of interlacing nerves that serve as communication hubs to distribute and organize nerve action across various body regions. The nerve plexuses are organized into the cervical plexus located in the neck region, brachial plexus in the shoulder area, lumbar plexus found in the lower back, sacral plexus situated in the pelvis, and coccygeal plexus located in the coccygeal region.
The Cervical Plexus
The cervical plexus, formed by the anterior rami of the first four...

    Area of Science:

    • Human-Computer Interaction
    • Virtual Reality
    • Haptics

    Background:

    • Haptic exoskeleton gloves are common for force-feedback in virtual reality (VR), particularly for 3D object manipulation.
    • Existing solutions often lack palmar contact, a crucial element for realistic in-hand haptic sensations.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a self-contained hardware system augmenting a hand exoskeleton with a palmar contact interface.
    • Conducted a technical evaluation to optimize the delay between virtual and physical interactions.
    • Performed a user study (n=12) to assess the impact of palmar contact on exoskeleton augmentation.

    Main Results:

    • PalmEx demonstrated superior rendering capabilities for believable grasps in VR.
    • The study highlighted the significance of palmar stimulation for immersive haptic experiences.
    • The system proved to be a cost-effective augmentation for existing high-end hand exoskeletons.

    Conclusions:
