An approach based on a combination of a haptic interface with force/torque transducers for measuring grasp quality was developed and evaluated. The system enables evaluation of power grasp coordination for quasi-static and dynamic external load force disturbances.

We developed a system for assessment and training of force coordination and hand dexterity in virtual environment. Mathematical model of grasping was applied to achieve multi-fingered interaction with virtual objects. Several tasks were developed with the aim to improve grip force coordination and increase muscle strength of patients after stroke through repetitive exercises.
