Comparison of individual fingertip forces between healthy people and spinal cord injury patients

The purpose of this study was to investigate the individual fingertip forces between healthy and spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. Thirty volunteers participated in this study. Analysis showed that every p-value is a statistically significant difference for the independent t-test. In the comparison of the graph patterns between each group, only the middle finger of group level T showed differences trends with group healthy. To sum it all up, we concluded that the individual fingertip forces could be proportional to the strength of the human body. Therefore, we suggest that the individual fingertip forces should also be used as a biomarker.
