Synergic movement of finger's joints provides human hand tremendous dexterities,and the detection of kinematics parameters is critical to describe and evaluate the kinesiology functions of the fingers.The present work is the attempt to investigate how the angular velocity and angular acceleration of the joints of index finger vary with respect to time during conducting a motor task.A high-speed video camera has been employed to visually record the movement of index finger,and miniaturized(5-mm diameter) reflective markers have affixed to the subject's index finger on the side close to thumb and dorsum of thumb at different joint landmarks.Captured images have been reviewed frame by frame to get the coordinate values of each joint,and the angular displacements,angular velocities and angular acceleration can be obtained with triangle function.The experiment results show that the methods here can detect the kinematics parameters of index finger joints during moving,and can be a valid route to study the motor function of index finger.
对皮层神经电生理信号进行时频分析是准确描述其信号特征的方法。为了研究手指活动相关脑磁图的时-频域分布特征,通过计算多通道脑磁图数据的时频功率表示(time frequency representations of power,TFRs),得到各通道数据在时频面上的能量分布;同时设计了一个基于Visual Basic和MATLAB的离线脑磁图数据处理的可视化软件以规范时频特征分析处理的流程。对一癫痫患者右手食指运动时记录的脑磁图数据进行处理,结果显示,患者对侧中央区和顶区皮层被显著激活,同侧中央区也有少数通道被激活。并且发现,皮层活动的10~25 Hz频率成分首先在–0.5^+0.3 s时间段表现为功率抑制,接着有强烈的功率增强活动显示,最显著的功率增强集中在0.4~0.7 s区间。初步的实验结果得到了手指活动相关神经活动在时-频域的表现,同时也为研究皮层活动在时域、频域以及空间的分布特征提供了方法。
