الوصف: | In the context of neurorehabilitation, there have been rapid and continuous improvements in sensors-based clinical tools to quantify limb performance. As a result of the increasing integration of technologies in the assessment procedure, the need to integrate evidence-based medicine with benchmarking has emerged in the scientific community. In this work, we present the experimental validation of our previously proposed benchmarking scheme for upper limb capabilities in terms of repeatability, reproducibility, and clinical meaningfulness. We performed a prospective multicenter study on neurologically intact young and elderly subjects and post-stroke patients while recording kinematics and electromyography. 60 subjects (30 young healthy, 15 elderly healthy, and 15 post-stroke) completed the benchmarking protocol. The framework was repeatable among different assessors and instrumentation. Age did not significantly impact the performance indicators of the scheme for healthy subjects. In post-stroke subjects, the movements presented decreased smoothness and speed, the movement amplitude was reduced, and the muscular activation showed lower power and lower intra-limb coordination. We revised the original framework reducing it to three motor skills, and we extracted 14 significant performance indicators with a good correlation with the ARAT clinical scale. The applicability of the scheme is wide, and it may be considered a valuable tool for upper limb functional evaluation in the clinical routine. |
