Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate performance reliability of stroke patients using kinematic analysis. Methods: A protocol to evaluate performance reliability was performed for three tasks on 20 stroke patients and 10 normal people. The tasks include hand to head (HH) task, hand to mouth (HM) task, and hand to target (HT) task. Results: The affected arms showed smaller joint angle, slower peak velocity, longer time to peak velocity for task performances than control group. Also, slower peak velocity and longer movement time for task performance in unaffected arm of stroke patients were obtained compared with the control group. Conclusion: Kinematic analysis is very useful quantitative tool to provide understanding on upper extremity function of stroke patients.
