The use of accelerometer in rehabilitation of brain damage patients with upper arm paresis

Abstract

One frequent consequence of brain damage is hemiparesis, which also causes a disorder of the upper extremity movement pattern. One of the aims of our research was to demonstrate, using objective function methods, the possibility of influencing the movement patterns of a paretic upper extremity by means of intensive interprofessional rehabilitation even several years after the brain damage
