Figure 2. Thumb adduction force-angle relationship.

Figure 2

Mean (± S.E.M.) active isometric thumb adduction force (total force - passive force) as a function of thumb angle across all subjects. For comparison, each subject's maximal forces at different joint angles were normalized to the maximum isometric force obtained during voluntary contractions. •, electrically stimulated contractions; ▪, voluntarily activated contractions.
