[A tablet-based model to simulate the interaction between extrinsic forearm and intrinsic hand muscles]. / Tablet-basiertes Trainingsmodell zum Verständnis des Zusammenwirkens von extrinsischer Unterarmmuskulatur und intrinsischer Handmuskulatur.

ABSTRACT

The interaction between different muscles needed to perform specific tasks with our hands is more complicated than one might think. We have composed a tablet-based model that is intended to motivate users to "design" specific functional grips making weighted use of the available tools, i. e. the extrinsic forearm and intrinsic hand muscles. The solutions provided for the various tasks are not exhaustive as there is no validated database for most non-standard grips. Our motivation for creating this model was to contribute to further education and to add fun to our daily work.
