A new musculoskeletal AnyBody™ detailed hand model

A Detailed Open - Source Musculoskeletal Model of the Human Lumbar Spine

Lumped-parameter electromyogram-driven musculoskeletal hand model: A potential platform for real-time prosthesis control.

Simple, lumped-parameter musculoskeletal models may be more adaptable and practical for clinical real-time control applications, such as prosthesis control. In this study, we determined whether a lumped-parameter, EMG-driven musculoskeletal model with four muscles could predict wrist and metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint flexion/extension. Forearm EMG signals and joint kinematics were collected s...

Musculoskeletal disorders: a new approach.

Musculoskeletal disorders are still a major problem in daily occupational life. Despite the high incidence rates and important consequences for employees, employers and society, efficient preventive strategies seem to fail in efficiency. The reason may be found in approaching the issue via the classic post-factum analysis. The preventive measures are almost not implemented because of the low pr...

Title: Hand Assessment in Older Adults with Musculoskeletal Hand Problems: a Reliability Study

Major compulsory revisions None Minor essential revisions 1. The abstract was a bit unclear as to whether the research question surrounded the consistency of the clinician’s ability to assess hand problems or the consistency of the subject’s ability to report their hand problems. It is not until the end of the background section that the reader learns that the reliability of the ACR criteria we...

Hand assessment in older adults with musculoskeletal hand problems: a reliability study

BACKGROUND Musculoskeletal hand pain is common in the general population. This study aims to investigate the inter- and intra-observer reliability of two trained observers conducting a simple clinical interview and physical examination for hand problems in older adults. The reliability of applying the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria for hand osteoarthritis to community-dwelling ...
