Well, you described something, but I see nothing here that is going to get survivors recovered.
Upper Limb Motor Function Quantification in Post-Stroke Rehabilitation using Muscle Synergy Space Model
Publisher: IEEE
Abstract:
The
muscle synergy hypothesis assumes that the nervous system controls
muscles in groups to simplify behavioral tasks, which makes it possible
for modularizing motor function assessment. This paper presents a new
assessment method based on muscle synergy space (MSS) model to assess
motor functions after stroke. It consists of spatiotemporal feature
module, muscle activation module and synergy activation module, and
focuses on the spatial and temporal characteristics of muscle synergies
via synergy vectors and activation coefficients. We further applied this
method to reveal spatial and temporal characteristics difference of
muscle synergy between healthy controls and stroke patients. The
effectiveness and accuracy of MSS model were proved by significant
positive correlations between Fugl-Meyer score and the total number of
optimal synergies of three modules. This measurement methodology could
serve as a quantitative indicator for motor function and provide more
scientific rehabilitation guidance.
