Metacarpophalangeal joint kinematics during a grip of everyday objects using the three-dimensional motion analysis system.

This paper deals with the way of using the device for three-dimensional motion analysis allowing the interaction between the movable segments of the hand to be described. The aims of this study were to investigate the angular patterns of the MCP joints for the fingers I-V during the grip of four commonly used objects and to compare the results between the dominant/non-dominant hands and in both male and female groups. The experiment was carried...
