Relationship between the joint torque and bone length in a simple joint model.
The holding torque is proportional to the square of the length of the proximal phalanx. b, length of the proximal phalanx; f, reaction force (thick arrows) from the central axis of the cylinder to the bone; r, radius of the cylinder; θ, the angle between f and x-axis; τ, joint torque.(TIF)Click here for additional data file.
