Quantification of Arm Non-Use After a Stroke

June 10, 2026 updated by: University Hospital, Montpellier

Reliability of Kinematic Analysis in Assessment and Rehabilitation of the Upper Arm of Stroke Patients Following a Cerebral Vascular Accident, Hemiparetic Subjects

Reproducibility assessment of a quantitative measure of the amount of trunk compensation by kinematic analysis in a grasping task in stroke patients.This "maladaptive trunk compensation" is suspected to be underlined by "arm non-use" in some patients, since this abnormal movement impairs the ability of patients to correctly flex their shoulder and extend their elbow during grasping.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Kinematic measurement of trunk displacement by the maladaptive index trunk compensation
Time Frame: 1 day
The Maladaptive Index Trunk Compensation (MTC) is the difference between the compensation index (CI) in the free trunk condition and to the fixed core condition. The compensation index is the core of the movement of the report on the movement of the hand.
