ABSTRACT:
A simulated finger model having articulated simulated finger bones with cords representing the major tendons to produce flexion and extension of the finger bones in the manner of the natural hand, with interconnections between an extensor tendon and intrinsic tendons to produce the proper interrelationship therebetween; with connections between the extensor tendon and the middle phalanx with a hood interconnecting the extensor tendon and the intrinsic tendons adjacent the metacarpophalangeal joint; with a resilient component interconnecting the simulated bones of the metacarpophalangeal joint tending to restore it to extended position; and with a further elastic component interconnecting the first and middle phalanges representing the capsule and collateral ligaments of the proximal interphalangeal joint. Other components control the various manipulative parts of the model to cause it to simulate the human finger in its operations and also components are provided to enable the model to demonstrate the results of malfunctions of various of these components such as may be caused by injury or disease.
