Abstract:
The flexibility of people's fingers plays a very important role in our daily life. Many people lose some degree of finger dexterity due to finger injuries. In this study, a self-made Arduino data acquisition glove was used to collect data on 8 daily hand movements of healthy participants and patients. From the data collected on healthy participants, we established a norm of finger movements of healthy participants. We analyzed how people used different fingers to perform different movements. Furthermore, we collected data on some patients with finger injuries and compared their hand dexterity with healthy individuals.
