Jade said to put the ball on the floor or on a box, rest our palm on it, and apply gentle pressure as we rolled our hands across the ball. It was amazing! I was able to massage the heel of my palm, ...

Human embryos are more muscle-bound than adult humans, new microscope images cataloging early development show. For instance, at seven weeks of gestation, embryonic hands have about 30 muscles. Adults ...

Artificial limbs, including the most complex of them – the human hand – are getting more life-like and useful due to constant advances in tiny hydraulic, pneumatic and electric motors called actuators ...

Tokyo [Japan], February 15 (ANI): A biohybrid hand which can move objects and make a scissor gesture has been created. The researchers used thin strings of lab-grown muscle tissue bundled into ...

MIT and ETH Zurich engineers 3D-printed robotic hands with realistic bones, ligaments, and tendons. The team used slow-curing polymers instead of the usual fast-curing ones to mimic muscle flexibility ...

A recent study linked stronger grip strength to a lower risk of developing obesity-related health conditions and early death.

Engineers have taken a leaf out of nature's book by equipping an artificial hand with muscles made from shape-memory wire. The new technology enables the fabrication of flexible and lightweight robot ...

Staff Sergeant James Sides lost his right arm in an IED explosion in Afghanistan. Now he's the first patient in an FDA trial testing an implantable, muscle-connected controller for prosthetics. By ...
