Abstract

This paper describes the development of a cylindrical-object grasping force measuring system applied haptic technology to measure the grasping force of strokes patients' fingers and other patients' paralyzed fingers. Because the cylindrical-object and the force measuring device of the developed cylindrical-object grasping force measuring system are connected with the electrical wires, patients and their families have difficulty not only measuring the patients' grasping force using the system but also knowing their rehabilitation extent when using it. In this paper, the cylindrical-object grasping force measuring system applied haptic technology was developed, and the cylindrical-object grasping force measuring device sends data to the rehabilitation evaluating system applied haptic technology by wireless communication. The grasping force measurement characteristic test using the system was carried out, and it was confirmed that the rehabilitation extent of the patients' paralyzed fingers and normal people fingers can be evaluated.
