ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems are provided for calculating the position of a thumb in a model of links and joints representing the physical thumb. The thumb position and orientation are calculated using the change in values of the angle of the thumb rotation and the thumb abduction from selected initial values, which change is detected by means of sensors mounted in juxtaposition to said thumb. Various joint axes are predefined, while others are calculated.
