About this study

The affectedness of the motor control of the upper limb, particulary, the hand and/or fingers, appears in many neurological diseases, what is going to impact on the functionality of the subject. The use of new technologies in the rehabilitation environment, has the target to reduce the impact on the disabling conditions. So that, the goal of this investigation is to evaluate the system use effectiveness of the Leap Motion Controller® in the treatment on the upper limb on patients with neurological disease.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Action Research Arm Test (ARAT)

    Shoulder Pain - Physioplus Objective The Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) is a 19 item observational measure used by physical therapists and other health care professionals to assess upper extremity performance (coordination, dexterity and functioning)

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Jamar

    Jamar® hydraulic hand dynamometer was used to measure grip strength.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Box and blocks

    Box and Blocks Test (BBT) was performed to measure unilateral gross manual dexterity in both the less and more affected side.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Adherence to the therapy sessions

    the attendance rate (%) for therapy sessions

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Questionary of Patient Satifaction

    which evaluate the level of satisfaction regarding the care and quality of the service received and the level of fulfillment of the patient's expectations regarding the treatment administered

    Measured: 8 weeks
