finger vein is one of the most fitting biometric for identifying individuals. in this paper a new method for finger vein recognition is proposed. first the veins are extracted from finger vein images by using entropy based thresholding. in finger vein images the veins are appeared as dark lines. the method extracts veins as well, but the images are noisy, that means in addition to the veins the...

The ability of human subjects to accurately control finger span (distance between thumb and one finger) was studied. The experiments were performed without visual feedback of the hand and were designed to study the dependence of accuracy on object size, shape, distance, orientation and finger configuration. The effects of finger combination and sensory modality used to perceive object size (vis...

38 Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate altered finger-thumb coupling in 39 individuals with chronic hemiparesis post-stroke. 40 Methods: First, an external device stretched finger flexor muscles by passively rotating the 41 metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints. Subjects then performed isometric finger or thumb force 42 generation. Forces/torques and electromyographic (EMG) signa...
