Novel evaluation of upper-limb motor performance after stroke based on normal reaching movement model
Tóm tắt
Upper-limb rehabilitation robots provide repetitive reaching movement training to post-stroke patients. Beyond a pre-determined set of movements, a robot-aided training protocol requires optimization to account for the individuals’ unique motor characteristics. Therefore, an objective evaluation method should consider the pre-stroke motor performance of the affected arm to compare one’s performance relative to normalcy. However, no study has attempted to evaluate performance based on an individual’s normal performance. Herein, we present a novel method for evaluating upper limb motor performance after a stroke based on a normal reaching movement model. To represent the normal reaching performance of individuals, we opted for three candidate models: (1) Fitts’ law for the speed-accuracy relationship, (2) the Almanji model for the mouse-pointing task of cerebral palsy, and (3) our proposed model. We first obtained the kinematic data of healthy (n = 12) and post-stroke (n = 7) subjects with a robot to validate the model and evaluation method and conducted a pilot study with a group of post-stroke patients (n = 12) in a clinical setting. Using the models obtained from the reaching performance of the less-affected arm, we predicted the patients’ normal reaching performance to set the standard for evaluating the affected arm. We verified that the proposed normal reaching model identifies the reaching of all healthy (n = 12) and less-affected arm (n = 19; 16 of them showed an R2 > 0.7) but did not identify erroneous reaching of the affected arm. Furthermore, our evaluation method intuitively and visually demonstrated the unique motor characteristics of the affected arms. The proposed method can be used to evaluate an individual’s reaching characteristics based on an individuals normal reaching model. It has the potential to provide individualized training by prioritizing a set of reaching movements.
