About

The purpose of this stufy is to measure the concurrent validity of the upper limb use ratio with accelerometers in an ecological situation after stroke.

Measure of FuncUseRatio using wrist-worn accelerometers and videos

Experimental group

Description:

The wristbands are made from hypoallergenic silicone and weigh 27 grams. They contain three accelerometers (AX3, Axivity, Newcastle Helix, United Kingdom), recording data in the three planes of space at a sampling frequency of 50 Hz and within an acceleration range of ±8 g. The wristbands will be worn on each wrist during the activities. Two high-definition video cameras, recording at least 50 images per second, will be positioned so that the movements of the patient's upper limbs are always visible. The location of the cameras will depend on the activity and the configuration of the room in which it takes place.

Treatment:

Behavioral: Objective assessment of upper limb use during activities in ecological situation
