  • Data about human fingers: answers from Biomech-L subscribers

    About my question on Biomch:

    > I'm looking for some data about human fingers: are you able to suggest

    > me a good book/article where I can find informations about:
    >
    > - the lenghts of human finger's phalangies
    > - the viscous coefficient of metacarpophalangeal (MP), proximal (PIP)
    > and distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints cartilages

    I've received this answer:


    Here are a couple of sources of finger length that I know of. There is
    also a
    larger work of Garrett that I haven't tracked down from the US military
    :

    B. Buchholz and T. J. Armstrong. An ellipsoidal representation of human
    hand
    anthropometry. Human Factors 33 (4):429-441, 1991.

    J. W. Garrett. The adult human hand: Some anthropometric and
    biomechanical
    considerations. Human Factors 13 (2):117-131, 1971.


    Thanks to Peter Keir for his help,

    "What is the formula for the journey to the ultimate meaning of reality?

    Living the real.
    The only condition for being truly and faithfully religious is
    to live always the real intensely, without negating or forgetting
    anything."

    (The Religious Sense, McGill-Queen's University Press, 1997, p. 108)
