Developing probability distribution models from upper extremity free exploration trials to evaluate motor deficits in stroke patients
Stroke survivors vary greatly in their motor deficits and rehabilitative needs. Here, we gather unstructured upper limb movement data and seek to understand if there are patterns in their kinetics that reflect the underlying neuromuscular alterations. In doing so, we can improve our abilities to evaluate patients and design personalized rehab therapy.
