Thermographic analysis of hand structure when subjected to controlled effort

Some theoretical and experimental considerations upon motions developed at hand and wrist levels, for a sample of human subjects without previous pathologies are presented in this paper. Thus, aspects related to the anthropometry of the system wrist-hand-fingers are presented in the first part of the paper, for different categories of subjects out of which the examples used to apply the proposed methodology are selected. The analysis structures required for recording and thermographic evaluation of the hand structure when subjected to controlled effort are presented in the second part of the paper. The third part of the paper is dedicated to the presentation and processing of results and conclusions concerning the thermographic behavior and manifestation of the assembly consisting of wrist-hand-fingers during controlled induced motions.
