This paper deals with the development of a sensor glove for recording kinematic and dynamic parameters of hand movements. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the location of bend sensors, as well as their limitation on the finger surface in order to improve the accuracy of measurements. A comparative analysis of different variants of sensor placement was carried out, key factors influencing the reliability of the obtained data were revealed, including the position of the sensors relative to the joints, the method of their attachment and the quality of contact with the skin. As a result of the experiment, the optimal configuration of flex-sensor placement was determined, providing minimal errors and high signal stability. The results obtained can be used to improve the accuracy of registration of hand movements in medical rehabilitation systems, for the development and testing of robotic prostheses, control of robotic manipulators and virtual interfaces. Such research may be useful for training artificial intelligence systems capable of predicting user intentions and performing complex operations with minimal human involvement.
