Usefulness of Scissors with a Power-Support Mechanism to Assist Thumb Movement: An Observational Study

Usefulness of Scissors with a Power-Support Mechanism to Assist Thumb Movement: An Observational Study

Long-term repetitive movements, such as opening and closing scissors, increase strain on muscles and joints. Amplitude probability distribution function (APDF) analysis of surface electromyogram (sEMG) data was used to quantify the burden of muscle activity. We aimed to test the hypothesis that scis...
