Conference Paper Description

Due to certain demanding manual tasks the loads on the human hand can be high, which can cause several disorders, among which are also tendon disorders. Many researchers tried to quantify the loads and provide mathematical models for the tendons of the hand. Since experiments and measurements in vivo are complex and usually not viable, we developed a finite element model of a finger joint, which utilizes tendon/muscle force for the joint movement. Initial simulations of the fingertip finite element model with the developed tendon joint model have shown accurate biomechanical behavior of finger movement and soft tissue deformation. We also compared the results in terms of relationship between tendon force and resulting fingertip (reaction) force from the simulation to an in vivo experiment and have confirmed that the results of the developed finite element model correspond well to the experimental results.
