손가락 근력 측정 장치 개발

Various forms of artificial arms are now in use for arm amputees. Most of artificial arms, however, simply assume the outward similitude of human arms with a limited or no function of human fingers. With the development of a new technique in human form robots, various attempts to develop artificial hands with complex functions are actively underway, and, as a result, new researches for intelligent artificial arms, which can copy complex functions of human hands, are also currently in progress. In this study, we made two forms of measuring devices (Device 1 and Device 2) in order to measure the muscular strength of fingers of Koreans. It is expected that the standard value for Koreans' bending and picking strengths of fingers will be established if we increase the number of people to be measured in the future.
