Popis: A bionic robotic hand can perform many movements similar to a human hand. However, there is still a significant gap in manipulation between robot and human hands. It is necessary to understand the finger kinematics and motion patterns of human hands to improve the performance of robotic hands. This study aimed to comprehensively investigate normal hand motion patterns by evaluating the kinematics of hand grip and release in healthy individuals. The data corresponding to rapid grip and release were collected from the dominant hands of 22 healthy people by sensory glove. The kinematics of 14 finger joints were analyzed, including the dynamic range of motion (ROM), peak velocity, joint sequence and finger sequence. The results show that the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint had a larger dynamic ROM than metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints. Additionally, the PIP joint had the highest peak velocity, both in flexion and extension. For joint sequence, the PIP joint moved prior to the DIP or MCP joints during flexion, while extension started in DIP or MCP joints, followed by the PIP joint. Regarding the finger sequence, the thumb started to move before the four fingers, and stopped moving after the fingers during both grip and release. This study explored the normal motion patterns in hand grip and release, which provided a kinematic reference for the design of robotic hands and thus contributes to its development.
