However, the wrist is not in the model. Today, several authors have proposed in the literature that the wrist has a relative movement between the two rows of bones with eight bones. Some authors discuss a comparison of four joint coordinate systems previously described in the literature. Others propose a helical movement of wrist bones in distal movements.</p><p>Objective: A new design the hand model of 25 DOF adding a movement of two rows and eight bones of the wrist.</p><p>Methods: Once we locate a new coordinates system in the end of the radius close to the scaphoid, we apply Denavit-Hartenberg for all joints. Forward and inverse kinematics are applied. We include ten ligaments to apply restrictions in the wrist movement, which affects fingertip position.</p><p>Results: A new model of a virtual human hand with more accuracy is presented and validated with a Cyberglove™ and Leap Motion.</p><p>Conclusions: This new model that includes wrist movement yields a more accurate virtual human hand. New DOFs are added to the 25-DOF hand model.</p>}, month = {8}, pages = {8 pages}, keywords = {virtual human hand,wrist,29 degrees of freedom}, publisher={University of Iowa}, journal = {Proceedings of the 7th International Digital Human Modeling Symposium} }
