[Abstract + References] Stroke Rehabilitation: Detection of Finger Movements

Abstract

For several stroke cases, rehabilitation focuses on the pincer movements and grasps with the index and thumb fingers. The improvements in the coordination between these fingers guides the recovery of the subject. Obtaining a good measurement of these opening and closing movements is still unsolved, with robotic based high cost solutions. This research includes a preliminary study that analyses the use of tri-axial accelerometers to measure these movements and to evaluate the performance of the subjects. Under certain constraints, the solution has been found valid to detect the finger opening-closing pincer movements.
