Quantification of Arm Non-Use After a Stroke

University Hospital, Montpellier144 enrolled

Overview

Reproducibility assessment of a quantitative measure of the amount of trunk compensation by kinematic analysis in a grasping task in stroke patients.This "maladaptive trunk compensation" is suspected to be underlined by "arm non-use" in some patients, since this abnormal movement impairs the ability of patients to correctly flex their shoulder and extend their elbow during grasping.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Kinematic measurement of trunk displacement by the maladaptive index trunk compensation

The Maladaptive Index Trunk Compensation (MTC) is the difference between the compensation index (CI) in the free trunk condition and to the fixed core condition. The compensation index is the core of the movement of the report on the movement of the hand.
