Abstract

This paper presents the judgment method of the rehabilitation extent using a spherical type digital finger force measuring system (SDFFMS). Stroke patients can't use their fingers because of the paralysis of their fingers, but they can recover with rehabilitative training. The SDFFMS has been already developed by Kim (Author of this paper), and the finger grasping forces of normal people and stroke patients could be measured using it. But the SDFFMS could be not used to judge the extent of their rehabilitation, because the judgment method using it is not yet developed. In this paper, the characteristics tests for the grasping forces of normal persons and stroke patients were performed using the SDFFMS, and the judgment method of the rehabilitation extent was developed using the results. The tests confirm that the rehabilitation extent of stroke patients could be judged using the developed judgment method.
