- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The performance in the grasping tasks, expressed in:<br /><br>1. The time needed to perform the tasks;<br /><br>2. The success in grasping (percentage objects grasped without slippage or breakage);<br /><br>3. The Index of Functionality (IoF), the main outcome measure of the SHAP test.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1. The number of trials needed to successfully hold the object;<br /><br>2. The force safety marging (difference between the required and the applied grasping force);<br /><br>3. The percentage correcly identified objects (indication of object stiffness, size and weight).
