Computer analysis of motor performance.
Employing the techniques of electrogoniometry and force measurement, the authors devised a system that provides rapid, reliable, and objective evaluation of a motor task. Utilizing a high-speed minicomputer, various parameters of a motor task were recorded, analyzed, and displayed. This system was used to monitor recovery of motor function after surgery, during a drug regimen, and during electrical stimulation of specific sites in the central nervous system.
