Sensory feedback and the impaired motor system.

A group design study was carried out using regulated feedback to enhance functional recovery in stroke patients. Patients trained on three computerized tasks aimed at improving guided limb motion in the hemiplegic arm. The therapeutic group was able to make use of the sensory feedback to outperform the control group in each of the three tasks. The therapeutic group also showed an adaptation of the improved performance on the three tasks. Further investigation is required to demonstrate that such sensory feedback training results in a corresponding improvement in activities of daily living skills.

A computerized kinematic diagnostic system.

This paper describes the instrumentation developed for a clinical system that measures upper extremity kinematics in normal and cerebral palsied children. The ability to diagnose cerebral palsy during early and midinfancy is influenced by the fact that movement and postural abnormalities become apparent only over time, and are not readily detectable until there is sufficient abnormality so that it can be viewed by gross inspection during clinical examination. The methodology presented here serves to discriminate normal from deviant movement at an earlier age than what is presently possible, and may also result in alternative therapeutic intervention.
