Biomechanical Force-Sensing Glove Design and Development
Get PDFMassage therapy, physical therapy, and athletic training are healthcare practices used to prevent or relieve pain and improve mobility in patients. Much research has been conducted on best practices to enhance patient treatment. However, limited research has analyzed the frequently reported injury to and fatigue of the clinicians performing the treatment. Here, a dynamic force-sensing glove is developed to measure changes in the interaction force between a clinician’s hand and massage therapy tool during treatment. The glove actively records changes in force across the hand, and changes in force during the duration of treatment. The forces recorded by the glove are quantified to develop custom ergonomic physical therapy tools.https://scholarworks.merrimack.edu/rcac_2025_posters/1102/thumbnail.jp
