Robotic Hand

Ever wonder how your hand works? Movements of the hand are mostly started by muscles in the forearm. Only the thin tendons of these muscles are found directly in the hand: the extensor tendons used for stretching the hand run through the back of the hand to the tips of the fingers, and the flexor (bending) tendons run through the palms to the fingers. For today we are going to focus on the flexor tendons that allow you to grip and grab.
