This project investigates the possibility to use low budget sensors such as webcams and IMUs to measure movement of stroke patients and quantify the movement quality. This low cost approach will allow to scale the solutions and bring instrumented solutions into clinical application. Integral part of this project is to develop and validate algorithms, create user-friendly apps and translate the new technology into clinical application. This project is a collaboration between ETH and cereneo foundation and is thus based in Zurich and Vitznau/Hertenstein.

Evaluation of Finger Individuation Ability in Flexion and Extension
After a neurological injury (such as stroke), many patients suffer from impairment of the hand and finger function. Clinical assessments aim to measure and quantify those impairments for a better understanding and to specifically target those deficits in rehabilitation. One aspect of hand function, that is not truly understood yet is finger individuation: the ability to move one finger independently of the others. In a previously developed assessment device, we use force sensors attached to a hand module to measure this dexterous skill. This individuation device measures finger flexion (pushing) over different force levels, but the individuation ability in extension (pulling) remains unknown. The aim of this project is to implement an extension assessment (by adapting the existing protocol) and compare as well as test it before its implementation into the clinical routine.

Optimization of Individuation Assessment Software and Protocol
After a neurological injury (such as stroke), many patients suffer from impairment of the hand and finger function. Clinical assessments aim to measure and quantify those impairments for a better understanding and to specifically target those deficits in rehabilitation. One aspect of hand function, that is not truly understood yet is finger individuation: the ability to move one finger independently of the others. In a previously developed assessment device, we use force sensors attached to a hand module to measure this dexterous skill. This individuation device measures finger flexion (pushing) over different force levels, using a simple user interface. But to facilitate the measurement process and increase comprehension for cognitively impaired patients, we need to improve the assessment visualization and execution.

Reliability and Validity testing of an Individuation device for a clinical use
After a neurological injury (such as stroke), many patients suffer from impairment of the hand and finger function. Clinical assessments aim to measure and quantify those impairments for a better understanding and to specifically target those deficits in rehabilitation. One aspect of hand function, that is not truly understood yet is finger individuation: the ability to move one finger independently of the others. In a previously developed assessment device, we use force sensors attached to a hand module to measure this dexterous skill. This individuation device will be used in a clinical setting to measure neurological patients. But before it can routinely be put into practice, its reliability (in a test-retest setting) and validity must be proven.
