Dataset Information:
The role of synergies during reach to grasp movements was identified by the following experiment; a subject is seated on a chair, while his trunk is holded to the chair by means of elastic straps, so as to restrain body movements. His hand was placed at the top of the table with the palm facing downwards. Objects of varying shape and size were placed on the surface of a table at a higher point than the starting hand position. The user was instructed to move his arm in order to reach and grasp the object. For each trial the starting position of the hand and the position of the object were kept the same.
