Description
Gaël Le Perf and co-authors test a 2026 measure of arm use after stroke. Using the weaker arm in daily life helps stroke survivors keep function. Wrist sensors can track arm activity at home. But common sensor measures can be fooled by passive motion, such as an arm swinging while walking. The team checked a measure called FuncUseRatio, which aims to count only real functional use.
Two tests were run. In the first, healthy adults did set arm tasks while a camera system tracked them as a gold standard. Sensor estimates matched the camera system closely. In the second, stroke patients cooked, ate, and dressed while video served as the truth. The sensor ratio again matched very well. The authors say the measure is valid for tracking arm use in daily life.
