title = "Intrinsic hand muscle activation for grasp and horizontal transport",
abstract = "During object manipulation, the hand and arm muscles produce internal forces on the object (grasping forces) and forces that result in external translation or rotation of the object in space (transport forces). The present study tested whether the intrinsic hand muscles are actively involved in transport as well as grasping. Intrinsic hand muscle activity increased with increasing demands for grasp stability, but also showed the timing and directional tuning patterns appropriate for actively transmitting external forces to the object, during the translational acceleration and deceleration of object transport.",
