Sex eligibility reported by registry: all

Inclusion criteria: Healthy subjects will be eligible for the study if they have full hand function and can perform any activity of daily living involving the hands. Impaired subjects will be eligible for the study if they are mildly to moderately impaired. They should be capable to perform minimal arm and hand movements but suffer from impaired motor function hindering typical activities of daily living. Exclusion criteria: Healthy subjects will not be eligible for the study if they suffer from impaired motor function hindering typical activities of daily living. Impaired subjects will not be eligible for the study if they fully recovered and are not suffering from impaired motor function hindering typical activities of daily living.

Official study title

Evaluation of upper limb motor performances using tablet-based tests

Original description

Intervention: Group 1: We will collect data with healthy subjects of different age (6 age groups: 21-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60, 61-70, 71-80) and gender (2 categories). Four tests on a tablet will be repeated 5 times with each hand: 1) Trace a spiral 2) Trace a star 3) Follow the dot 4) Hit the targets Group 2: Patients (stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson disease and ataxia): Four tests on a tablet will be repeated 5 times with each hand: 1) Trace a spiral 2) Trace a star 3) Follow the dot 4) Hit the targets Movement observation: 1) Tremor at rest 2) Action or Postural Tremor of hands 3) Finger Taps 4) Rapid Alternating Movements of Hands 5) Finger-to-nose test 6) Finger-finger test 7) Drawing of the Archimedes’ spiral on a pre-drawn pattern 8) Dysmetria test 9) Plate tapping test Primary outcome: The study aims at: 1) measuring performances of healthy subjects as reference norms for comparison with patients data 2) validate the results by comparing them to existing validated clinical measures 3) evaluating the test-retest reliability of the results Secondary outcome: The study also aims at developing additional outcome measures for the tablet based tests by analysing performances from healthy subjects and patients.

Conditions reported: Patients with stroke (I64), multiple sclerosis (G35), Parkinson disease (G20) and ataxia (R27) who suffers from arm disabilities I64 G35 G20 R27 U50;Stroke, not specified as haemorrhage or infarction;Multiple sclerosis;Parkinson disease;Other lack of coordination
