Up to now haptics interface research focused on the study of two fingers grasping of rigid objects. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/ieeexplore.ieee.org\/xpls\/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=6961395&#038;tag=1\">Altobelli realized tripod devices<\/a><\/strong> which allow to vary the pressure at the three contact points, so that one can <strong>simulate the grasping of objets of different rigidity and compliance<\/strong>. To measure <strong>measure the force and stiffness distribution across the three finger tips<\/strong>, the activity of the&nbsp;a dominant antagonistic pair of the forearm muscles has been monitored through&nbsp;electromyography.This kind of devices represents a valuable tool to advance the state of art on human strategies in manipulation tasks and to <strong>assess rehabilitation procedures<\/strong>.
