Measurement and Description of Human Hand Movement

Abstract

The actual movement and the coupled relationship of human fingers are very important for the analysis of human hand grasp, but there are very few effective ways to detect it. The paper introduces a method with wearable measuring sensors to realize the real time measurement and description of human fingers' movement during hand grasping. A data glove for real-Time measuring the movement of each joint of all the fingers was designed. The finger movements of three typical human hand grasps were measured, and the coupled relationship and the complete motion trajectory of all five fingers were got and described.
