HANDS’on

This project aims to develop technology that assesses the executive upper limb function and the clinical decision-making process.
This project consists of developing a kinematic biofeedback system. This system is a digital platform and a set of kinematic sensors. The digital platform provides a real-time avatar of movement errors carried out by a chronic patient after a stroke while training in daily activities (e.g., drinking a glass of water with the affected arm). The digital information provided by the biofeedback system allows the user to immediately correct the wrong component of the movement and thus become more effective and independent in their daily activities.
