Abstract

It has been suggested that the coefficient of friction between the finger flexor tendons and the structures over which they slide is normally quite small, but increases with irritation of the tendon. This paper utilizes a belt and pulley model of the wrist in the in vivo measurement of the frictional coefficient. An estimated value of 0.12 for the frictional coefficient was obtained from a sample of five symptom free subjects.

An external acceleration can be placed on the distal element of the model, and the resulting mass displacements can be simulated. Energy dissipation by model elements can also be computed (reprinted from Thomas et al., 1996, with kind permission from Academic Press, London, UK).;Biomechanics in Ergonomics;1999-03-25
