“…The hand performs mechanical tasks ranging from the use of high force to functions that require delicacy and precision (Leon et al, 2013;Barroso, 2010). The versatility of the hand is possible due to the complexity of its structure and its refined control, which enable the execution of multi-digital prehension and pinch movements (Hagert et al, 2012;Souza et al, 2015). The study of the human hand and the characterization of pinch function have an important role in multiple fields (Grujić and Bonković, 2015), such as the study of pathologies (Kingsbury et al, 2014;Barroso et al, 2011;Coimbra, 2011), rehabilitation of upper limbs (Musiolik, 2008;Barroso et al, 2011;Neves, 2011), development of man-machine interface (Matsubara and Morimoto, 2013;Adams et al, 2015;Endo and Kawasaki, 2015), design of robotic arms and biomechanical models (Leon et al, 2013;Saikia, 2014;Quigley et al, 2014;Deimel and Brock, 2016).…”
