Current state-of-the-art robotic hands are restricted in functionality due to complex structure and limited degrees of movements. Over the last decade, bioengineers are focused on the study of hand biomechanics in order to incorporate biomechanical features of the hand and neural control strategies within robotic hands, and to design robotic hands with the functionality close to humans. An objective assessment of hand function is important in rehabilitation, as well, to evaluate the effectiveness of selected therapeutic approach and to provide optimal treatment for a patient.
