Grip and pinch strength (Biometrics electronic dynamometer and pinch meter), gross (Box and Block Test) and fine (Grooved Pegboard Test) motor dexterity, hand function (Southampton Hand Assessment Procedure), postural tremor (MetaMotionC accelerometers), tactile sensitivity (Semmes-Weinstein Monofilaments), and usability (System Usability Scale) were evaluated. Performance with glove conditions was compared against normative data of older adults if available.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Grip strength and gross and fine motor dexterity declined in both glove conditions, aligning with normative ageing values. However, pinch strength and functional performance did not show consistent replication of normative ageing. Usability scores were below acceptable thresholds for both gloves. While the addition of tremor simulation increased peak frequency consistent with ageing, it did not replicate the rise in amplitude.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, the gloves partially replicated age-related hand function decline.
