Hi Friends,

I am studying the functioning of the human hand by building 
one from sterolithography models of the bones and using cables for tendons 
etc. 

I am interested in finding the kinds of forces that may be present 
at the joints, and am looking for really small sensors for the 
forces that may be produced between the joints.  I am also interested 
in measuring the angular displacement between the two joints.  Could 
someone out there give me some pointers to some low cost sensors for 
the above application.  I would also welcome answers from people who have
implemented such sensors in their applications.

Thanks in advance
