Several methods have been proposed to objectively quantify fingers joints range of motion ROM while few studies exist about multi-finger coordination during hand movements. The present work analysed this aspect by providing a complete characterization of spatial and temporal aspects of hand movement through the mathematical modelling of multi-joint finger motion in healthy subjects and stroke patients. Methods Hand opening and closing movements were examined in 12 healthy volunteers and 14 hemiplegic stroke survivors by means of optoelectronic kinematic analysis. The flexion extension angles of metacarpophalangeal MCPJ and proximal interphalangeal joints IPJ of all fingers were computed and mathematically characterized by a four-parameter hyperbolic tangent function. Accuracy of the selected model was analysed by means of coefficient of determination R2 and root mean square error RMSE . Test-retest reliability was quantified by intraclass correlation coefficient ICC and test-retest errors. Comparison between performances of healthy controls and stroke subjects were performed by analysing possible differences in parameters describing angular and temporal aspects of hand .
