Overview
Brief Summary
This is a two phase prospective observational study that aims to validate the use of a motion capture software (Leap Motion) to measure and quantify functional deficits of the hand in stroke patients using a standard battery of exercises. The objectives of this study are:
- To compare the differences between results of hand kinematic computational analysis in patients with ischemic stroke and healthy subjects.
- To analyze the relation between hand kinematic computational analysis and clinical scales usually performed to evalutate neurologic deficits in stroke patients.
- To analyze the relation between hand kinematic computational analysis and stroke lesion on brain MRI.
- To analyze changes between results of hand kinematic computational analysis in the acute phase of stroke and at three months, and its relation with evolution of neurological evaluation clinical scales, functional clinical scales and quality of life.
