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...
