Abstract

The 10-s grip and release is a method to evaluate hand dexterity. Current evaluations only visually determine the presence or absence of a disability, but experienced physicians may also make other diagnoses. In this study, we investigated a method for evaluating hand movement function by acquiring and analyzing fingertip data during a 10-s grip and release using a wearable sensor that can measure triaxial acceleration and strain. The subjects were two healthy females. The analysis was performed on the x-, y-, and z-axis data, and absolute acceleration and contact force of all fingertips. We calculated the variability of the data, the number of grip and release, the frequency response, and each finger's correlation. Experiments with some grip-and-release patterns have resulted in different characteristics for each. It was suggested that this could be expressed in radar charts to intuitively know the state of grip and release. Contact-force data of each finger were found to be useful for understanding the characteristics of grip and release and improving the accuracy of calculating the number of times to grip and release. Frequency analysis suggests that knowing the periodicity of grip and release can detect unnatural grip and release and tremor states. The correlations between the fingers allow us to consider the finger's grip-and-release characteristics, considering the hand's anatomy. By taking these factors into account, it is thought that the 10-s grip-and-release test could give us a new value by objectively assessing the motor functions of the hands other than the number of times of grip and release.

摘要

10 秒握放测试是一种评估手灵活性的方法。目前的评估仅通过视觉来判断是否存在残疾,但有经验的医生可能还会做出其他诊断。在这项研究中,我们研究了一种通过使用可测量三轴加速度和应变的可穿戴传感器获取并分析 10 秒握放过程中指尖数据的方法,来评估手部运动功能。研究对象是两名健康女性。我们对 x、y 和 z 轴数据以及所有指尖的绝对加速度和接触力进行了分析。我们计算了数据的可变性、握放次数、频率响应以及每个手指的相关性。对一些握放模式进行实验,结果表明每个模式都具有不同的特征。这可以通过雷达图直观地表示出来,以了解握放状态。发现每个手指的接触力数据对于理解握放特征和提高计算握放次数的准确性很有用。频率分析表明,了解握放的周期性可以检测到不自然的握放和震颤状态。手指之间的相关性可以让我们考虑手的解剖结构,从而了解手指的握放特征。考虑到这些因素,通过客观评估手的运动功能,而不仅仅是握放次数,10 秒握放测试可能会具有新的价值。
