1. We investigated the contribution of skin strain‐related sensory inputs to movement
perception and execution in five normal volunteers. The dorsal and palmar skin of the middle …

Strong motivation for developing new prosthetic hand devices is provided by the fact that
low functionality and controllability—in addition to poor cosmetic appearance—are the most …

1. The movement sensitivity of dorsal skin mechanoreceptors in the human hand was studied
by the use of single afferent recording techniques. 2. Units were classified as slowly (SA) …

1 Neurophysiological evidence that afferent information from skin receptors is important for
proprioception has been gathered mainly in experiments relating to the human hand and …

1. Microelectrode recordings from 15 slowly adapting (SA) cutaneous mechanoreceptor
afferents originating in hairy skin were obtained from the radial nerve in humans. 2. Controlled …

1. Subjects lifted an object with two parallel vertical grip surfaces and a low centre of gravity
using the precision grip between the tips of the thumb and index finger. The friction between …

Human grasping and manipulation control critically depends on tactile feedback. Without
this feedback, the ability for fine control of a prosthesis is limited in upper limb amputees. …

1. One hundred and twenty-four muscle afferents from the finger extensor muscles were
recorded from the radial nerve in human subjects. 2. The afferents were provisionally classified …

1. One hundred and two single afferents from the finger extensor muscles of humans were
studied with the microneurography technique. 2. The afferents were provisionally classified as …

Microneurographical recordings from 24 slowly adapting (SA) and 16 fast adapting (FA)
cutaneous mechanoreceptor afferents were obtained in the human radial nerve. Most of the …
