Popis: | Abnormal movement patterns during upper-limb reaching tasks are often observed in patients after stroke, but clinical tools are lacking to objectively evaluate and quantify them. This paper presents the implementation and evaluation of six trajectorybased metrics on the Virtual Peg Insertion Test, a technologybased assessment of upper limb function consisting of a goaldirected peg-in-hole task. A case study with four stroke patients illustrates the ability of the proposed metrics to describe motion patterns that differ from age-matched healthy subjects, and thus to objectively assess and track abnormal movement patterns.
