Description
Using custom software and an inexpensive novel motion capture controller, we adapted and automated traditional subjective motor assessments in an integrated system to develop a quantitative motor assessment (QMA) that is low-cost, and highly sensitive. Twelve participants who have suffered a traumatic brain injury performed the QMA and had MRI scans of their brain. We compared the individual QMA results from the TBI group to normative standards (developed in an earlier work). We also compared the QMA results to measures of damage found in MRI results. Preliminary analysis of a subset of data are reported here.
