“…Javanmardian et al [22] investigate influence of the division of ligaments on the contact stress distribution with a three-dimensional FE model of the wrist including carpal bones. Gislason et al [23] studied the stability of the human wrist and the influence of additional constraints on the response of a FE model. Chamoret et al [24] explain the development of a three-dimensional FE model of the human hand and with a modeling of the contact between hand and a deformable object with complex constitutive anisotropic hyperelastic laws.…”

This paper investigates a biomechanical aspect of human hand during grasping, using the finiteelement method. A realistic three-dimensional finite-element (FE) model of a human hand is developed, including wrist bones, phalanges, soft tissues and skin, reconstructed from medical computed tomography (CT) scan images. Material laws of the literature have been implemented in the model, in order to be able to simulate a simple activity of grasping. In a human design context, this model allows an interesting biomechanical study, which simulates the grasping task in a biofidelic manner. This model is a first step in the modeling of the human hand that can lead to future studies dealing with the interaction of the hand with its environment for the improvement of safety requirements of future products development.

“…was not obtained. This is due to the fact that CT image cannot provide the soft tissue outline as clear as the bone tissue [7]. To accomplish this part, one way is to depict the soft tissue according to the anatomy structure of knee joint on the CTconducted model which may contribute to the untruthfulness of the model because of the lack of accuracy.…”

Objective: To discuss a method to establish a three-dimensional model of healthy human knee joint, which can be used for further knee joint biomechanics analysis and simulation. Methods: CT scan and medical image three-dimensional reconstruction software (Mimics) were used to obtain the knee joint three-dimensional finite element model (FEM) according to reverse engineering theory. Results: FEM of knee joint with complete bone structure was established by Mimics. Conclusion: Three-dimensional FEM was established according to CT images exports as IGES file. The model can be used for knee joint biomechanics finite element analysis to provide references and proposals for the clinical diagnoses of knee joint illness, and the design of artificial knee joint prosthesis.

“…When trying to address this problem, experimental and computational methods have been used [13]. The most used methods range from ex-vivo techniques for measuring pressures.The most common computational method is the Finite Element (FEM) [14], which has proven effectiveness with simple geometric joints such as the hip [15,16] and knee [17,18], but not in complex joints like the ankle and wrist [14].…”
