Popis: Several methods have been discussed to assess and quantify proprioceptive deficits. Most clinical assessments are based on categorical or ordinal results which are not sensitive to subtle changes or subtle deficits observed in different patients. In this paper, we propose a quantitative protocol for post-stroke proprioceptive assessment based on three-dimensional inertial tracking. The system is based on a network of five inertial sensors that are attached to the subjects’ upper limbs. Validation of our approach was based on a set of upper-limb experiments performed by thirty healthy subjects and six stroke patients.
