Quantification of dexterity as the dynamical regulation of instabilities: Comparisons across gender, age and disease

Quantification of dexterity as the dynamical regulation of instabilities: Comparisons across gender, age and disease

Dexterous manipulation depends on using the fingertips to stabilize unstable objects. The Strength-Dexterity paradigm consists of asking subjects to compress a slender and compliant spring prone to buckling. The maximal level of compression (requiring low fingertip forces < 300 grams force, gf) q...
