title: Toward quantification of athetotic movements by frequency spectrum analysis.
abstract: The frequency spectrum of the elbow movements of one normal subject and six handicapped subjects were obtained in order to investigate the possibility of using this technique in quantifying athetosis. The frequency spectrum technique appears to be useful but data from more subjects must be obtained and specific details regarding scaling need to be investigated.
