- I've seen pictures of the Dextrous Hand Master, but I'd like to ask anyone
- whose actually used one about it. On the back of the hand sits a base to
- which the devices measuring the fingers and the thumb are attached.
- This, then, is somehow attached to a wrist strap. My question is,
- how does this base stay pressed against the hand? How does it keep from
- rocking up and down when the fingers are moved only slightly? In my
- attempts to construct a glove which measures finger movements in a
- mechanical fasion, I have run into this problem, and am finding it
- difficult to prevent this while keeping it comfortable...
