  • info req: pinching strength assessment/ transducer

    My name is Genevieve Ferland. I am a third year physiotherapy student
    and research assistant at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
    I am presently working on a research project that is trying to
    elaborate a device allowing to assess and rehabilitate pinch force
    appreciation in CVA patients, using strain gauges and computerized visual feedback
    system. I wish to build a pinching device with adjustable pinch spans. I
    haven't succeded in finding information about the influence of
    different pinch spans on pinching strength. I would be grateful if
    anyone could give me information regarding pinch spans and pinching
    strength or were to find such information. Any information in the
    form of reference related to any hand or finger pinch force devices
    will be appriciated.

    Thank you for your assisstance.
