Abstract:
Because humans have limited ability to independently control the many joints of the hand, a wide variety of hand shapes can be characterized as a weighted combination of just two or three main patterns of covariation in joint rotations, or “postural synergies.” The present study sought to align muscle synergies with these main postural synergies and to describe the form of membership of motor units in these postural/muscle synergies. Seventeen joint angles and the electromyographic (EMG) activities of several hand muscles (both intrinsic and extrinsic muscles) were recorded while human subject

Abstract:
Hand prehension requires highly coordinated control of contact forces. The high-dimensional sensorimotor system of the human hand operates at ease, but poses several challenges when replicated in artificial hands. This paper investigates how the dynamical synergies, coordinated spatiotemporal patterns of contact forces, contribute to the hand grasp, and whether they could potentially capture the force primitives in a low-dimensional space. Ten right-handed subjects were recruited to grasp and hold mass-varied objects. The contact forces during this multidigit prehension were recorded using an

Abstract:
The hypothesis that the central nervous system (CNS) makes use of synergies or movement primitives in achieving simple to complex movements has inspired the investigation of different types of synergies. Kinematic and muscle synergies have been extensively studied in the literature, but only a few studies have compared and combined both types of synergies during the control and coordination of the human hand. In this paper, synergies were extracted first independently (called kinematic and muscle synergies) and then combined through data fusion (called musculoskeletal synergies) from 26 activi

Abstract:
Movement primitives or synergies have been extracted from human hand movements using several matrix factorization, dimensionality reduction, and classification methods. Principal component analysis (PCA) is widely used to obtain the first few significant eigenvectors of covariance that explain most of the variance of the data. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is also used as a supervised learning method to classify the hand postures corresponding to the objects grasped. Synergies obtained using PCA are principal component vectors aligned with dominant variances. On the other hand, synergies

Abstract:
Human controls dozens of muscles for different hand postures in a coordinated manner. Such coordination is referred to as a postural synergy. Postural synergy has enabled an anthropomorphic robotic hand with many actuators to be applied as a prosthetic hand and controlled by two to three channels of biological signals. Principle component analysis (PCA) of the hand postures has become a popular way to extract the postural synergies. However, relatively big errors are often produced while the hand postures are reconstructed using these PCA-synthesized synergies due to the linearity nature of th

Abstract:
Previous studies using advanced matrix factorization techniques have shown that the coordination of human voluntary limb movements may be accomplished using combinations of a small number of intermuscular coordination patterns, or muscle synergies. However, the potential use of muscle synergies for isometric force generation has been evaluated mostly using correlational methods. The results of such studies suggest that fixed relationships between the activations of pairs of muscles are relatively rare. There is also emerging evidence that the nervous system uses independent strategies to contr

Abstract:
Abstract In human evolution, hand functions played a significant role in the emergence of toolmaking and tool use, as well as in expressing gestures. Tool use in everyday life, together with gestures and music performance, typically engage both hands in well-coordinated asymmetric synergies. A division of labor between hands is also an evolutionary trend, with the left engaging preferentially in posturing grasps, providing an egocentric reference frame for the right which manipulates the grasped object (MacNeilage 1987).
