Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
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.
