The standard tools for this purpose are manual devices such as goniometers which allow measuring only one joint simultaneously, making the diagnostics time-consuming. The paper presents a system for automatic measurement and computer presentation of essential parameters of a hand. Constructed software uses an integrated vision system, a haptic device for measurement, and has a web-based user interface. The system provides a simplified way to obtain hand parameters, such as hand size, wrist, and finger range of motions, using the homogeneous-matrix-based notation. The haptic device allows for active measurement of the wrist\u2019s range of motion and additional force measurement. A study was conducted to determine the accuracy and repeatability of measurements compared to the gold standard. The system functionality was confirmed on five healthy participants, with results showing comparable results to manual measurements regarding fingers\u2019 lengths. The study showed that the finger\u2019s basic kinematic structure could be measured by a vision system with a mean difference to caliper measurement of 4.5 mm and repeatability with the Standard Deviations up to 0.7 mm. Joint angle limits measurement achieved poorer results with a mean difference to goniometer of 23.6\u00ba. Force measurements taken by the haptic device showed the repeatability with a Standard Deviation of 0.7 N. The presented system allows for a unified measurement and a collection of important parameters of a human hand with therapist interface visualization and control with potential use for post-stroke patients\u2019 precise rehabilitation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22052060","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,9]],"date-time":"2022-03-09T01:50:53Z","timestamp":1646790653000},"page":"2060","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Hand Measurement System Based on Haptic and Vision Devices towards Post-Stroke Patients"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Koter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Machine Tools and Production Engineering, Lodz University of Technology, 90-537 Lodz, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3756-6812","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martyna","family":"Samowicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Automatic Control, Lodz University of Technology, 90-537 Lodz, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5276-3232","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Justyna","family":"Redlicka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Rehabilitation, Medical University of Lodz, 93-113 Lodz, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1229-2173","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Igor","family":"Zubrycki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Automatic Control, Lodz University of Technology, 90-537 Lodz, Poland"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"39","article-title":"Udar m\u00f3zgu\u2014Ryzyko niepe\u0142nosprawno\u015bci oraz mo\u017cliwo\u015bci poprawy funkcji motorycznych i poznawczych","volume":"41","author":"Starosta","year":"2016","journal-title":"Pol.
