Series Editors’ Foreword
This is the thirteenth volume of the ‘Springer Series on Touch and Haptic Systems’, which is published in collaboration between Springer and the EuroHaptics Society. This volume, entitled Haptic Devices for Studies on Human Grasp and Rehabilitation, is focused on the development and the validation of a set of new haptic devices. A major purpose of these devices is to advance knowledge of human finger stiffness and force distribution when performing grasping tasks. To this end, this volume sheds light on some of the strategies people use in manipulation tasks and it provides tools to assess rehabilitation procedures. Fur
