Lecture addressed the literature review in the problem field of the development of a digital human hand model based on finite element methods. Already used and those methods that will be used in future have been presented. The effect of development of the digital human hand model has been presented on the basis of predicted results and their potential application in the science field and professional use in ergonomics and bio-mechanics.

The paper presents the idea of development of an anatomically accurate and numerically feasible and stable finite element digital human hand model with bio-mechanically accurate hand movement and grasping. The paper argues that such model would allow virtual analyses of stresses on the soft tissue. The usability of the proposed model is presented on a case study of a siplified grasping of a cylindrical handle.

The paper explores the problem of development of a bio-mechanically accurate, feasible and numerically stable digital human hand model based on finite element method. It presents the limitation that are method depended and proposes simplification, which are needed to develop a successful model. It is shown that using finite element method, not only hand movement and tissue deformations are obtainable, but also stresses, strains and contact pressures on the hand, which can provide crucial insight into the hand bio-mechanics, injury development and product ergonomics.
