This dataset contains the tactile data corresponding to 22 subjects, 12 women and 10 men, performing 21 different activities of daily living. The dataset was obtained using the Grip System, with sensor 4256E from Tekscan, Inc., USA. The tasks corresponded to common activities of daily living (ADL), selected to cover most of the areas related to hand function of the different chapters of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). This open dataset is, to our knowledge, the largest and most diverse database with tactile information of the human hand in ADL. The file 'dataset description.pdf' contains detailed information about the contents of the dataset.
