Abstract: Study examined the extent to which end-point kinematic variables obtained from the target-to-target pointing task were associated with upper-limb impairment or activity limitation as assessed by traditional clinical scales in individuals with stroke. Sixty-four individuals, from acute stage up to one year after stroke, performed a target-to-target pointing task in a virtual environment using a haptic stylus which also captured the kinematic parameters. Multiple linear regression was performed to determine the amount of variance explained by kinematic variables on Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) and Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) scores after controlling for confounding variables. Mean velocity and number of velocity peaks explained 11 percent and 9 percent of the FMA-UE score uniquely, and 16 percent when taken together. Movement time and number of velocity peaks explained 13 percent and 10 percent of the ARAT score, respectively. The kinematic variables of movement time, velocity, and smoothness explain only a part of the variance captured by using clinical observational scales, reinforcing the importance of multi-level assessment using both kinematic analysis and clinical scales in upper-limb evaluation after stroke.
