“…movements. These techniques vary in the specific aspect of motor function measured, and include grip and load force variation (Fellows and Noth, 2004;Guo et al, 2004;Hejdukova et al, 2003;Hermsdorfer, 2002, 2006), finger and thumb movements during day-to-day activities (Sauermann et al, 2005;Simone and Kamper, 2005), timing, velocity and force of finger tapping (Aparicio et al, 2005;Bazner et al, 2005;Kandori et al, 2004;Yahalom et al, 2004), and kinematics of wrist flexion-extension (Byblow et al, 2003), handwriting (Caligiuri et al, 2006) gross arm movement (Byblow et al, 2002;Rand et al, 2002), and reach-to-grasp movements (Hosseini et al, 2000;Jackson et al, 2000;Rand et al, 2006;Tunik et al, 2004;Wenzelburger et al, 2000;Whishaw et al, 2002). Portable and convenient methods measure single aspects of motor function, such as finger bending movements (Sauermann et al, 2005;Simone and Kamper, 2005).…”
