Abstract

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-to-grasp.
