We compared The Southampton Hand Assessment Procedure (SHAP) score and time required to complete each task. The results show VC hand tool may be easier to use than VO hand tool for operations that require strong gripping force and operations that require quick operation.</p>}, journal={Myoelectric Controls Symposium }, author={Nishizaka, Chika and Fujiwara, Sayaka and Endo, Satoshi and Mano, Hiroshi and Ohnishi, Kengo and Haga, Nobuhiko}, year={2020}, month={Jul.} }
