Abstract:
Motor
impairment is common following stroke. Diminished strength and
coordination contribute to reduced ability to perform activities of
daily living. The existing healthcare models focus on delivering
rehabilitation during the first few months following stroke. Yet, to
regain motor control to the greatest degree, rehabilitation should
continue across the lifespan. Currently, individuals with stroke are
responsible for self-managing their rehabilitation once therapist guided
rehabilitation has concluded. Individuals with stroke are frequently
given a written home exercise program to help guide their home
rehabilitation, but poor compliance demonstrates a better approach is
necessary. In this study, we propose BiGRA, a novel system to more
effectively facilitate in-home bilateral rehabilitation. This system
holds merits in: (1) An end-to-end task-oriented system for bilateral
grip control which emphasizes the modulation of grip coordination
between hands; and (2) Innovative metrics framework to quantitatively
analyze the motor control performance. The evaluation shows that BiGRA
can objectively measure the patients' task performance and is a
promising assessment tool for stroke rehabilitation.
