Hand-Joint Freezing Strategy and Its Model in Human Three-Joint Arm's Reaching Movements
Toshikazu Matsui, Takumi Suzuki, Tomohiro Furuya (Gunma Univ.) MBE2016-56
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) When we move our own arm in our daily life, we experience that our hand-joint angle hardly changes during the movement. This research discusses the hand-joint control strategy based on measuring the hand-joint angle and computing all the external torques acting on the hand joint during three-joint arm’s reaching movements, and moreover, it discusses the biological relation between the human hand-joint control mechanism and its feedback control model. Consequently, the following results are obtained: (1) the hand-joint angle hardly changes during unconstrained reaching movements; (2) the sum (i.e., resultant torque) of the hand-joint torque and the inertia torque acting integrated over the entire movement approaches zero; (3) the mechanism of the feedback control model corresponds to the biological mechanism that the hand-joint torque is generated by summation of two torques based on agonist and antagonist muscles in co-contraction; (4) the model’s feedback gain controls the strength of co-contraction (stiffness). These results suggest that hand joints are controlled by a strategy such as freezing and that the feedback control model can be a plausible model of the human hand-joint control mechanism.
