Using a physical model to represent the detailed morphology of the flexor digitorium superficial tendon, the functions of the fibrous arrangement of this tendon in the human fingers were studied for flexion and extension of the proximal interphalangeal joint. In extension of the joint, the fibrous pattern acted as a dynamic ligament for the joint. In flexion, the arrangement of fiber bundles of the tendon contributed to the balanced distribution of forces across the joint's surfaces and for mechanical interplay with the deep long flexor tendon in the region of the joint.
利用物理模型来呈现指浅屈肌腱的详细形态，研究了该肌腱在人类手指中纤维排列在近端指间关节屈伸过程中的功能。在关节伸展时，纤维模式起到关节动态韧带的作用。在屈曲时，肌腱纤维束的排列有助于力在关节表面的平衡分布，并在关节区域与指深屈肌腱进行力学相互作用。
