The effects of digital anaesthesia on predictive grip force adjustments during vertical movements of a grasped object

Grip force adjustments to fluctuations of inertial loads induced by vertical arm movements with a grasped object were analysed during normal and impaired finger sensibility. Normally grip force is modulated in a highly economical way in parallel with fluctuations of load force. Two subjects performe...
