A Protocol for 3D kinematics and electromyographic analysis of the upper limb applicable to cerebral palsy children
نویسنده
چکیده
Upper limb involvement in cerebral palsy is usually more complex than in lower limb and current clinical evaluation methods do not fully assess the function of upper limbs during simple activities of daily life for cerebral palsy patients. We thus defined a protocol allowing the 3D kinematics and EMG analysis of upper limbs during defined tasks in order to complete the clinical analysis of such patients. The first data were obtained for intact or pathologic subjects and reproducibility tests are in progress. Keywordsupper limb; 3D kinematics; EMG; cerebral palsy.
