Adapting Kinematic Profiles to Apraxia Patients

We want to better understand the problems that arise from apraxia, a movement

disorder that may result after stroke. These individuals experience difficulty in producing

skilled or learned movements, and have difficulties doing activities of daily living. As a

result we want to record their movements using portable sensors to have more objective

measures of what is apraxia by asking them to participate in a battery of tests. This will

help us develop better ways of assessing apraxia and give us more data on what

troubles arise in their everyday life. This data can then be shared with numerous health

care providers, as well as the patients, which may aid in their recovery.
