This project provides OpenSim models for characterizing the musculoskeletal kinematics in the primate hand.

License: OpenSim Models

The project aims to investigate and characterize the complex function of the primate hand at the musculoskeletal level. The OpenSim models used in this project enabled extracting joint angles from 27 degrees of freedom as well as length of 50 musculotendon units in the hand and upper extremity. Results demonstrated both a more compact representation and a higher decoding capacity of grasping tasks when movements were expressed in the muscle kinematics domain than when expressed in the joint kinematics domain. The OpenSim models in the project were adapted from the upper extremity model by Holzbaur et al., Ann.Biomed. Eng., 2005.

The project provides two primate-specific OpenSim models. These characterize all degrees of freedom in the hand and can be used for reconstructing accurate musculoskeletal hand kinematics. The OpenSim models are adapted from the upper extremity model by Holzbaur et al., Ann.Biomed. Eng., 2005.
