Direct comparisons of hand and mouth kinematics during grasping, feeding and fork-feeding actions

While a plethora of studies have examined the kinematics of human reach-to-grasp actions, few have investigated feeding, another ethologically important real-world action. Two seminal studies concluded that the kinematics of the mouth during feeding are comparable to those of the hand during graspin...
