| Popis: | The present assessment of partially-paralysed victims of stroke is complicated by a lack of objective measurement. A tracking task of the type widely used to measure the performance of skilled operators in a manual control taks is used here to encourage controlled movement in the semiparalysed arm. Quantitative measures derived from such tests provide sensitive indication of trends in performance during rehabilitation, which cannot be detected by routine clinical examination. |
