Abstract

In this presentation, we discuss point-of-use applications for motor skills characterization. There is no objective metric for evaluating motor skill training progress, and current assessments rely on qualitative surveys. We have fabricated an instrumented glove with pressure and motion sensors for motor characterization. This glove is useful for characterizing motor skills of people suffering from hypertonicity, a neuromuscular disorder that causes muscle stiffness/resistance and jerky movement. Analyses of force versus velocity show movement-dependent muscle resistance in a patient with hypertonicity. Through the flexible sensor systems, the shift from subjective scores to objective measurement will promote better diagnosis and dramatically improve the accuracy in tracking patient response to therapy.
