Zusammenfassung:In vivo characteristics of palmar soft tissue can be used to improve the accuracy of human models to explore and simulate a range of contact scenarios. Tissue characteristics can help to assess injury prevention strategies and designing technologies that depend on quantified physical contacts such as prosthetics, wearables, and assistive devices. In this study, a simplified quasi-linear viscoelastic (QLV) model was developed to quantify large deformation, in vivo soft tissue relaxation characteristics of the palm. We conducted relaxation tests on 11 young adults (6 males, 5 females, 18
