Finger and palm dynamic pressure monitoring for basketball shooting

This study verified general inferences on the finger and palm pressure distribution of a basketball player in the moment before that player shoots a basketball through a scientific qualitative testing method. we mounted the sensor on the hands of college basketball players and monitored the dynamic pressure of each player's hand while the player threw a basketball. the dynamic pressure distribution of the fingers and palm of a basketball player throwing a ball can be verified. according to the experimental results,college basketball players typically use the index finger to control the direction and power of force in the moment before shooting a basketball. this study successfully used a scientific qualitative test method to monitor the dynamic pressure of the fingers and palms of basketball players and verified the general inference that a typical basketball player mainly uses the index finger to control the direction and power of force in the moment before throwing a ball. in the future,this study,measuring the dynamic pressure distribution of the fingers and palm,can be applied to simulate hand manipulation in many biomedical and robotic applications. © 2017 chiao-fang hung et al.
