Functional Hand Grip Analysis through Biomechanics: Review Paper
The human hand has a complex structure that enables various postures and movements in occupational and daily-living activities. Studies of the human hand lately have concentrated on its dynamic function in ergonomics, product design, robotics, rehabilitation, and orthopedics. The purpose of this study is to summarize published biomechanical papers on hand function analysis methodologies and results in these research fields associated with hand grip classification by object shape, contact area, and anatomy. The biomechanical studies can be categorized in terms of anthropometries, kinematics, kinetics, and electromyography ( EMG ). The anthropometric studies have investigated the finger-moving joints and muscles, and the length, breadth, thickness, and range of motion (ROM) of the hand and joints. The kinematic papers have studied the angle, velocity, trajectory, and acceleration of the fingers by a motion analysis system during static and dynamic movements. The kinetic papers have analyzed the force, moment, and torque of the fingers and tendons. The EMG papers have used the signal processing techniques of root mean square (RMS), mean power frequency (MPF), and the amplitude probability distribution function (AFDF) regarding both maximal and sub-maximal voluntary contraction. This study is expected to present a basic knowledge of hand anthropometric analysis and functional hand grip analysis based on biomechanics.
