    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Rehabilitation Engineering
    • Biomedical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Current clinical assessments for neurological dysfunction, like stroke, rely on subjective expert observation and lack sensitivity.
    • Objective measurement is crucial for accurate assessment and tracking of recovery in patients with neurological impairments.
    • Technological advancements offer potential for more precise and specific objective measurements in clinical settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate an interactive force-sensitive table-top platform for assessing reach in post-stroke patients undergoing intensive upper limb training.
    • To extract objective measures of reachable workspace, including reach distance, speed, and dragging.
    • To compare these objective measures with standardized Fugl-Meyer (FM) clinical scores.

    • Post-stroke patients were assessed using a force-sensitive table-top platform during a three-week intensive upper limb training program.
    • Objective data on normalized reach distance, normalized reached speed, and reach dragging were collected.
    • These objective measures were correlated with Fugl-Meyer (FM) scores recorded at admission (FMPRE) and discharge (FMPOST) using Spearman correlation.

    Main Results:

    • Strong correlations were observed between the three objective measures (normalized reach distance, speed, dragging) and subjective FM scores.
    • All correlations were statistically significant (Spearman's |ρ| > 0.5, p < 0.05).
    • This indicates a high degree of agreement between the objective sensor-based data and established clinical assessments.

    Conclusions:

    • The sensor-based table-top system provides a valid, simple, and flexible platform for objective assessment of impaired upper limb motor function in post-stroke patients.
    • This technology can enhance the accuracy and specificity of patient assessments compared to traditional subjective methods.
    • The findings support the integration of such sensor-based systems into rehabilitation programs for more effective monitoring of motor recovery.
