Evaluation of Hand Grasping by Instrumented Glove

چکیده
In this paper the evaluation of effectivenes of instrumented glove in measurement of hand opening and preshaping during reach-to-grasp movement is described. In the experiment presented in this work the reach-to-grasp movement of one healthy subject was measured by two different types of motion-tracking devices (3D optical system, Optotrak, and commercial instrumented glove, 14 sensors Ultra Data Glove) with the aim to answer if the rather simple glove-system can substitute complex and expensive optical system in assessment of hand preshaping during reach-tograsp. Key-Words, hand kinematics, reach-to-grasp movements, hand preshaping, hand model, instrumented glove, rehabilitation

An instrumented glove for small primates.
The Cymanus is a novel flex sensor glove for measuring hand kinematics in primates. It was used to monitor 9 joints of a rhesus macaque performing a grasping task with 25 objects. Over 6 days, the monkey tolerated the glove and showed no significant impairment in performance. The sensors linearly tracked joint angles, with joint trajectories preserved over days. Angular positions discriminated ...
متن کاملRecording hand-surface usage in grasp demonstrations
Humans are expert graspers having mastered the use of their hands to grasp objects in different ways and for different purposes. Grasp data on how humans use their hands therefore provides an excellent resource to derive insights from human grasp behaviour which can be transferred to robotic hands. The important question is: what to record? We may record the demonstrated shape or configuration ...
متن کاملA new method of accurate hand- and arm-tracking for small primates.
The investigation of grasping movements in cortical motor areas depends heavily on the measurement of hand kinematics. Currently used methods for small primates need either a large number of sensors or provide insufficient accuracy. Here, we present both a novel glove based on electromagnetic tracking sensors that can operate at a rate of 100 Hz and a new modeling method that allows to monitor ...
متن کاملDesign and Preliminary Feasibility Study of a Soft Robotic Glove for Hand Function Assistance in Stroke Survivors
Various robotic exoskeletons have been proposed for hand function assistance during activities of daily living (ADL) of stroke survivors. However, traditional exoskeletons involve the use of complex rigid systems that impede the natural movement of joints, and thus reduce the wearability and cause discomfort to the user. The objective of this paper is to design and evaluate a soft robotic glove...
متن کاملHand Posture Prediction using Neural Networks within a Biomechanical Model
This paper proposes the use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) in the framework of a biomechanical hand model for grasping. ANNs enhance the model capabilities as they substitute estimated data for the experimental inputs required by the grasping algorithm used. These inputs are the tentative grasping posture and the most open posture during grasping. As a con...
