Validation study of a protocol for upper limb kinematics: Preliminary data

Introduction: Motion analysis can provide us with an adequate understanding of upper limb (UL) motor control and the way functional movement is carried out. In the literature various protocols of UL kinematics have been proposed to analyze single motor tasks with different functional significance. Kim et al compared hemiplegic patients with healthy controls and observed that hemiplegic patients presented different sagittal kinematics at the shoulder and elbow during the motor task they were asked to perform [1].
