Abstract:
Att reglera sin gripkraft och lyfta ett föremål kan tänkas vara enkelt och självklart. Men för personer med visa neroulogiska sjukdomar som hydrocefalus och Parkinsons sjukdom har det visat sig att deras sjukdomar kan påverka deras gripkraft. Om nu gripkraften påverkas kan det kanske användas inom vården för att kontrollera sjukdomsförloppet, om det blir bättre efter behandlingar. På Medicinsk Teknik - Forsking och Utveckling (MT-FoU) har ett mätinstrument som mäter gripstyrkan och lyftaccelerationen konstruerats.

Abstract:
When moving the arm while holding an object, grip force (GF) increases at movement onset (anticipatory control; AC). Post-stroke individuals preserve AC in some tasks but few of these have been ecological. We hypothesized that post-stroke individuals will have problems in AC during functional hand tasks. Subjects lifted a 63.5g load cell (lift) with the thumb and index finger and held it (hold) while flexing or extending the elbow (transport). GF, EMG activity of the elbow and thumb, and forearm acceleration were recorded. Stroke subjects had no impairments in AC between GF and acceleration. H

Recent work suggests that the links between religious belief and behavior with a variety of positive outcomes (e.g., longer life, more marital satisfaction, scholastic achievement, better health behaviors) may be partially explained by religious belief systems' ability to foster self-control and self-regulation. The current investigation sought to explore this hypothesis by determining if induction of religious cognition (through a supraliminal religious prime) could increase behavioral self-control, operationalized as performance on a maintained grip task.

The ability to pinch an object precisely is an essential function of the hand. The primary objective of this experiment was to examine the effect of aging on the perception of a pinch-grip force exerted by the thumb and index finger. Twelve young (25.3 +/- 2.4 yr.) and twelve older (71.4 +/- 3.3 yr.) healthy adults executed unilateral and bilateral pinch-grip tasks with and without visual feedback. The performance of the older group was worse than that of the younger individuals when asked to reproduce a pinch force. Specifically, the older adults tended to produce an initial overshoot

The highest mean grip strength measurement was found at 135 degrees of shoulder flexion, followed by 0 degrees and then 90 degrees. An ANOVA indicated that there was a significant difference between at least two of the three positions. A Fisher's LSD post hoc test indicated that mean grip strength at 135 degre

Abstract:
During transport of hand-held objects, the grip force is modulated in parallel with the load force changes. The control scheme underlying this grip-load force coupling involves subtle interplay between feedforward and feedback mechanisms. Based on internal models of the motor system and object properties, the load force can be predicted and the GF motor command can be specified in a feedforward manner. Moreover, during the course of arm movement, the CNS is informed by sensory feedback about mechanical events such as the lift-off of the object, slippage or excessive grip force. This informatio
