  • Index Finger Data request

    Dear all,

    First I will introduce myself. I am a student on the Electrical Engineering
    department on the University Twente in the Netherlands. Currently I am doing
    my graduate project: Design and construction of a telemanipulation system.
    At the moment I am working on a (simple) model for the index finger so I can
    optimize my haptic device. My model needs to give all force distributions in
    the whole workspace of the finger.

    For validating my model I need some data from the forces the (index)finger
    can produce, data about the fibre and muscle lengths, parameters for the
    describing formula of the active and passive forces (muscle architecture
    index, b1 and b2 etc). Can someone help me to provide me with this data?

    Thanks for your help in advance, sincerely,

    Bart Spikker (b.w.j.spikker@student.utwente.nl)


    PS:

    I describe the force formula as follow:
    Fpee = (b1*exp(b2*(epsilon))-b1) for passive forces
    and
    Fce = exp(-( ( (epsilon+1)^(0.96343*(1-1/i_a))-1.0 )/( 0.35327*(1-i_a) ) ));
    for active forces
    Where i_a is the muscle architecture and epsilon the relative muscle
    stretch.
