Images of SGH and mHand without any glove equipped.
The circular window for the SGH highlights the button users must press to release the grasp. This button is located on the back of the hand. The mHand has no such button to release the grasp. The differences in finger shape are most visible around the tips of the fingers and thumb. Reproduced with permission from Gerwin Smit and Moveable [3].

SHAP tasks there were included and excluded from the testing protocol.

mHand and SGH SHAP scores over successive attempts.
Data of participants from the mHand and SGH were graphed together within this box plot. This figure analyses the overlapping task data from the mHand and SGH data sets. For each attempt, the line within the box represents the median, the upper and lower edges of the box represent the upper and lower quartiles respectively, and the ends of the whiskers are the maximum and minimum values.

Contralateral hand involvement comparison during grasp and release interactions between mHand and SGH.
Each column encompasses the total interaction time, for each participant, over every analysed attempt. This is normalised to 100%. The rightmost column shows the grand mean of the entire data set. Grasp data (red) is graphed below release data (yellow).
