摘要
To investigate the organization of multi-fingered grasping, we asked subjects to grasp an object using three digits: the thumb, the index finger, and the middle or ring finger. The object had three coarse flat contact surfaces, whose locations and orientations were varied systematically. Subjects were asked to grasp and lift the object and then to hold it statically. We analyzed the grasp forces in the horizontal plane that were recorded during the static hold period. Static equilibrium requires that the forces exerted by the three digits intersect at a common point, the force focus. The directions of the forces exerted by the two fingers opposing the thumb depended on the orientation of the contact surfaces of both fingers but not on the orientation of the contact surface of the thumb. The direction of the thumb's force did not depend on the orientation of the contact surfaces of the two fingers and depended only weakly on the orientation of the thumb's contact surface. In general, the thumb's force was directed to a point midway between the two fingers. The results are consistent with a hierarchical model of the control of a tripod grasp. At the first level, an opposition space is created between the thumb and a virtual finger located approximately midway between the two actual fingers. The directions of the forces exerted by the two fingers are constrained to be mirror symmetric about the opposition axis. The actual directions of finger force are elaborated at the next level on the basis of stability considerations.
