Quantitative Evaluation of Motor Functions Based on Periodic Upper Limb Movement
Original language description
Neurological diseases often impair the sufferer's motor skills and cause specific disturbances of motor functions. The patient's motor functions can be captured and the trajectory of the movement quantified. This approach can help to compare of the movements and to make diagnosis. We proposed and implemented an algorithm for quantification of the periodic movement. Our algorithm is motivated by the published "clouding algorithm" and enhanced by quantification function. The movement was captured by two cameras and 3-dimensional trajectories of the hands were reconstructed. A similarity matrix was used for finding repetitive patterns in the movement. The algorithm was tested and successfully verified on 40 healthy people. The learning skill of the left and the right hand was also compared. It was confirmed that the right hand learning skill is better by right-handed persons.
