- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method sing on-body sensing systems, inertial sensors, force sensors and EMG-sensors; movement, forces and muscle activity will be measured. Measured data will be analyzed and the main study parameters will be calculated. These parameters are subdivided into three groups: temporal (number of movements), kinetic (centre of pressure, underneath the foot) and kinematic (step width, step size, range of motion). Each group contains several parameters of which a combination of parameters and/or (a)symmetry of parameters will be used to qualify motor function.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary parameters are the clinical tests (Timed Up and Go Test, Berg Balance Scale, Fugl Meyer, Stroke Upper Limb Capacity Scale, Barthel index) which are already used in clinical practice to assess balance, reaching tasks and daily-life activity. The results of these tests will be correlated to the results of primary study parameters by calculating the regression coefficients and intraclass correlation between the clinical tests and the parameters as described in the main parameters.
