Abstract
The goal of this paper is twofold: firstl, to provide a novel mathematical model thatdescribes the kinematic chain of motion of the human finers based on Lagrangianmechanics with four degrees of freedom and secondly, to estimate the model parametersusing data from able-bodied individuals. In the literature there are a variety of mathematicalmodels that have been developed to describe the motion of the human finer. These mod-els offer little to no information on the underlying mechanisms or corresponding equationsof motion. Furthermore, these models do not provide information as to how they scalewith different anthropometries. The data used here is generated using an experimentalprocedure that considers the free response motion of each fnger segment with data cap-tured via a motion capture system. The angular data collected are then filtere and fitteto a linear second-order differential approximation of the equations of motion. The resultsof the study show that the free response motion of the segments is underdamped acrossflexion/extensio and ad/abduction.
