In this study, we develop an automatic evaluation system of motor function of fingers for a home rehabilitation device for fingers. A patient developing hemiparesis cannot perform dexterous finger movements by paralysis at a hand. Therefore, hand recovery is an important target for rehabilitation. However, self-rehabilitation of paralysis by a patient is extremely difficult especially for fingers. From this, a device that automates finger rehabilitation is required. To this, it is necessary to show the change of motor function for finger movement by using the device. In our previous study, we proposed a quantification by a simple integration of finger pressure time series comparison. In this paper, we describe a better integration method which is relevant in terms of physiological validity.
