a

BR muscle volume and joint strength data were used to scale muscle strength for each of the patient-specific strength models.

b

Simulations were performed using trial-specific data, but the values presented in the proceeding columns indicate the mean (± SD) of the measured data across trials for each subject that was simulated.

c

Measured co-activation patterns of the BIC, TRI and ECRB were used to drive simulations.

d

Measured BR activation and pinch force magnitude were compared to simulation outputs to evaluate performance.
