Posterior probability profiles for the automated assessment of the recovery of patients with stroke from activity of daily living tasks

摘要

ObjectiveAssessing recovery after stroke has been so far a time consuming procedure in which trained clinicians are required. A demand for automated assessment techniques arises due to the increasing number of patients with stroke and the continuous growth of new treatment options. In this study, we investigate the applicability of isometric force and torque measurements in activity of daily living tasks to assess the functional recovery after stroke in an automated way.
