Design of grip strength measuring system using FSR and flex sensors using SVM algorithm

This paper proposes a design of complete system to identify weak grip strength that is caused by multiple factors like ageing, diseases, or accidents. presents measurement comprises force sensing resistor and flex sensor evaluate the condition hand. The tested gripping pencil cylindrical object using glove, determine Force sensitive (FSR) evaluates applied different parts palm on being grasped. Flex bending fingers thumb. data from sensors then compared with existing state stored personal computer (PC) through serial communication. A model trained sensors, which if user strong. also differentiate between two modes are pen mode mode. achieved an accuracy 90.8 percent support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. glove can be deployed in medical centers assist measurement.
