That's EXACTLY the problem: since the DataGlove I used has just one sensor
for the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb, I cannot map the REAL thumb
movements into the ones of the model; I must LOCK the thumb, taking off ALL
its degrees of freedom, except the one measured by the only sensor.
So I must carefully choose on which axis make the thumb move.

Clearer?

FYI, only one reply (thanks John! Great idea a moving axis...) and one pointer
to someone else's work (thanks Georges!).

C'mon boys! You can do something more! Isn't it challenging?
