ABSTRACT
Upper limb coordination is necessary for the performance of activities of daily living (ADLs). This coordination is impaired in individuals suffering from motor deficits. The evolution of inter- and intra-limb coordination patterns may provide insight into mechanisms of recovery. In this paper, we investigate the ability of inertial sensors to capture measures of limb coordination in non-disabled individuals during the performance of ADL inspired tasks. We evaluate limb coordination as measured by time and frequency domain features extracted from inertial sensors for a subset of upper limb tasks, and evaluate the relative sensitivity of these measures to different task types.
