These two go hand-in-hand—and an imbalance between the two can lead to a tendon injury. When muscles are much stronger than their tendon counterparts, the latter may become overused .

The extensor tendons raise and straighten our fingers in our thumbs and as such are an important part of hand function. Hand function, as we all know, is a complex series of muscles, pulleys and ...

The hand is made of a 3D-printed plastic base, with tendons of human muscle tissue moving the fingers. Until now, biohybrid devices have typically been on a much smaller scale (about one ...

The hand is made of a 3D-printed plastic base, with tendons of human muscle tissue which move the fingers. Until now, biohybrid devices have typically been on a much smaller scale (about 1 ...

Researchers from the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan have developed a biohybrid robot hand powered by ...

Cartilage is found at the ends of bones and where joints meet. Tendons attach muscles to the skeleton. Synovial joints (freely movable joints) allow us the free movement to perform skills and ...
