Summary:Highlights • A biomechanical model was built to predict the pressure given by a pressure glove. • Finite element method was used to simulate pressure distribution over hand dorsum. • The simulated pressure shows good agreement with the measured pressure. • The model helps to understand the effect of fabric properties on the pressure delivery. • The model enhances the treatment quality that suitable pressure can be efficiently prescribed.
