Abstract

Hand rehabilitation, is a repetitive and long duration therapy that can be facilitated with the assistance of gloves based on sensors. These devices can be substituted by the Virtual Glove, a simple and low-cost system based on the images acquired by four cameras and numerical analysis. In this paper the implementation of the numerical hand model used in this system has been characterized in term of errors in joints position calculation and inverse kinematics. The first preliminary experimental data to test the proposed model have also been reported.
