METHOD FOR DETECTION OF GRIPPING FORCE OF ARTIFICIAL ARM

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for detection of gripping force of an artificial arm is provided to identify the gripping force applied to a subject when wearing the arm and to indicate information of the detection. CONSTITUTION: The method comprises receiving electrical signals corresponding to gripping force of an artificial arm(1) from a sensor(2); and transferring stimulation corresponding to the input signal through skin contacting portion(3) to let a handicapped person feel degree of the gripping force. The method is conducted by an apparatus comprising the sensor(2), skin contact portion(3), A/D Converter(4), pulse generator, pulse selector(6), skin stimulator(7), spring and variable resistor(9).
