Prehension synergies in the grasps with complex friction patterns: local versus synergic effects and the template control.

چکیده
We studied adjustments of digit forces to changes in the friction. The subjects held a handle statically in a three-digit grasp. The friction under each digit was either high or low, resulting in eight three-element friction sets (such grasps were coined the grasps with complex friction pattern). The total load was also manipulated. It was found that digit forces were adjusted not only to the supported load and local friction, but also to friction at other digits (synergic effects). When friction under a digit was low, its tangential force decreased and the normal force increased (local effects). The synergic effects were directed to maintain the equilibrium of the handle. The relation between the individual digit forces and loads agreed with the triple-product model: f(i)(n) = k(i)((2))k(i)((1))L, where f(i)(n) is normal force of digit i, L is the load (newtons), k(i)((1)) is a dimensionless coefficient representing sharing the total tangential force among the digits (summation operator k(i)((1)) = 1.0), and k(i)((2)) is a coefficient representing the relation between the tangential and normal forces of digit i (the overall friction equivalent, OFE). At each friction set, the central controller selected the grasping template -- a three-element array of k(i)((2))k(i)((1)) products -- and then scaled the template with the load magnitude.

Comparison of synergic effects of Prilocaine and Lidocaine local anesthesia in teeth with irreversible pulpitis: A randomized clinical trial
Background and Aims: Various methods to induce anesthesia have been investigated in situations where the primary inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) injections fail. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of synergic effects of anesthetic injection of prilocaine supplemental with that of lidocaine anesthesia in teeth with irreversible pulpitis. Materials and Methods: This study was a...
متن کاملPrehension synergies: trial-to-trial variability and principle of superposition during static prehension in three dimensions.
We performed three-dimensional analysis of the conjoint changes of digit forces during prehension (prehension synergies) and tested applicability of the principle of superposition to three-dimensional tasks. Subjects performed 25 trials at statically holding a handle instrumented with six-component force/moment sensors under seven external torque conditions; -0.70, -0.47, -0.23, 0.00, 0.23, 0.4...
متن کاملLocal and Global Friction Factor in a Channel with V-Shaped Bottom
This paper presents an experimental research on the distribution of local friction factor, fb, and global friction factor, f, over the cross-section of a channel with V-shaped bottom, which typically occurs in sewers and culverts. Several series of experiments were conducted for measuring velocity and boundary shear stress. It is found that, Darcy-Weisbach, f, is more sensitive than other resis...
متن کاملMulti-finger Prehension Synergy: Exploration with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
The control of hand action is commonly viewed as based on a two-level hierarchy (Arbib et al. 1985): (1) The task is shared between the thumb and a virtual finger (VF, an imagined digit with the mechanical effect equal to that of the four fingers); and (2) VF action is shared among the actual fingers. Synergies at both levels can be studied as patterns of co-variation of its elements that stabi...
