Description
Khadija Zaidi and Michelle Harris-Love build a numeric score in 2023 for arm movement problems after stroke. Survivors often struggle to reach and grasp, yet clinics rate movement quality by eye, with no objective yardstick. A fair score would let therapists tune rehab to the actual deficit.
Patients at a rehab hospital reached for targets while sensors recorded their motion. The team adapted a shape-matching method to compare each reach against healthy reference curves, segment by segment. Mild and severe groups differed in where their motion matched, in speed, and in accuracy. Those signals combine into their index, with separate sub-scores for severity and for how unlike healthy motion the reach looks.
