Video 4 Cyclic Actuation of Hand at Different Frequencies. Different heating cycles were used to attempt to achieve 8, 10, and 12 second actuation cycles (0.125, 0.1, and 0.083 Hz, respectively). All the fingers responded to the 10 and 12 second cycles, with exception to little finger issues, as described in the main text. The 8-second cycles started seeing issues with full flexion of all the fingers, as the extensors did not receive sufficient time to cool and thus provide additional resistance against the flexors. …...more
