0 a strong piece of tissue in the body connecting a muscle to a bone
1 a strong cord that connects a muscle to a bone and allows movement, esp. of the arms, legs, and head
Finally, the only part left was also the most painful – the main nerves and tendons.
If for example, the growth of a bone is delayed, so too will be that of the associated muscles and tendons.
As such, only the tendons essential for the index finger flexion/extension and abduction/adduction are studied and mimicked in our design.
Moreover, all stripeinduced tendon-cell markers are still expressed in gcm-gcm2 embryos, implying that gcm-gcm2 control the expression of unknown targets.
This has also allowed identification of hemocyte and tendon-cell targets.
This is a problem inherent to tendon-based systems with feedback of only tendon measurements.
None had cerebral palsy, but, in the child with left sided epilepsy, the deep tendon reflexes were slightly increased on the left side.
The dynamic and highly redundant nature of the tendon structure renders the finger-actuating anatomy complex and difficult to fully comprehend and model.
