Two instrumented objects have been developed for quantitative assessment of functional tasks performed with the hand. These objects are useful for assessing neuroprosthetic hand grasp systems, and may also be useful in evaluating a variety of other upper limb disabilities and rehabilitation techniques. One object monitors grasp forced and object orientation during palmar prehension, allowing simulation of a drinking task or of manipulating a book. The second object monitors grasp force during lateral prehension for simulating eating or writing tasks. The two objects provide tools to analyze how a subject uses a hand grasp neuroprosthesis to perform activities of daily living. The objects will also be useful in comparing different methods of controlling the neuroprosthesis and in evaluating future changes in the neuroprosthetic system. Assessment trials with these two instrumented objects were performed quickly in an outpatient clinic setting.
已开发出两种仪器化对象，用于对手部执行的功能任务进行定量评估。这些对象对于评估神经假体手部抓握系统很有用，也可能有助于评估各种其他上肢残疾和康复技术。一个对象监测手掌抓握过程中的抓握力和物体方向，可模拟饮水任务或操作书本。第二个对象监测侧方抓握过程中的抓握力，用于模拟进食或书写任务。这两个对象提供了工具，可分析受试者如何使用手部抓握神经假体来进行日常生活活动。这些对象还将有助于比较控制神经假体的不同方法，并评估神经假体系统未来的变化。在门诊环境中快速进行了使用这两种仪器化对象的评估试验。
