Pressure Changes

SynopsisEarly investigations into the effects of pressure on marine invertebrates were concerned mainly with determining limits of tolerance to extreme pressures, but within the last 25 years it has gradually emerged that many invertebrates are sensitive to quite small changes in pressure, often less than one atmosphere (1000 mb). The responses of most planktonic animals appear to be of a depth regulatory nature but certain littoral organisms show rhythmic changes in activity in response to cyclical pressure changes of tidal amplitude and frequency. The ecological role of such responses is considered.The parameters of the pressure sense are known only from behavioural studies and offer little information concerning the process of reception. A possible mechanism of transduction based on the compression of a surface film of gas is described.

Pressure Sense

Joint position sense and force reproduction are the most commonly used measures of proprioception. It is interesting to measure proprioception in integration of the factors most commonly viewed as the most important in table tennis—speed, in particular quick reaction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of replication of a specific range of motion and force of hand pressing under conditions of limited time. Forty table tennis players and 30 non-athletes participated in the study. Electrogoniometric and dynamometric methods were used in the investigation. The accuracy of replication of pronation and supination movements of the forearm at the elbow joint and force of hand pressing under conditions of limited time (performing the activity as fast as possible in response to visual signals) were measured. The tests performed in the study revealed that both female and male table tennis players were characterized by a higher level of forearm position sense during performing the fastest possible pronation and supination movements in most of the tasks. Better results of table tennis players than of the control group suggest that joint position and hand pressure sense integrated with quick reaction are important performance factors in table tennis. The results also indicate opportunities for using this methodology to monitor training.

This report describes, first, a glove with joint angle sensors made of chip coils to detect the joint angles of human fingers in real time and also describes artificial fingers with multiple joints used for a tele-existence system on the tactile sense. Characteristics of the artificial skin to be attached to the artificial fingers are based on the experimental results of force-displacement characteristics of the human skin. Secondly, sensations produced by the pressure and the strain applied to the finger tip surface were measured as functions of pressure force level and the direction of the strain force using psychophysical techniques. A study of pressure sense and a force vector sensor is useful from the view point of the tele-existence system for the tactile sense.
