El protocolo puede utilizarse con éxito para cuantificar el rendimiento de movimiento y la calidad en los individuos con discapacidad sensoriomotora moderada y suave de la extremidad superior en todas las etapas después del accidente cerebrovascular. La viabilidad de este protocolo ha sido probada en un entorno clínico tan temprano como 3 días post accidente cerebrovascular y demostró que el sistema puede usarse por profesional de salud capacitado sin cualificación técnica específica. Conocimientos técnicos, sin...

Análisis cinemático describen los movimientos del cuerpo a través de espacio y tiempo, incluyendo aceleraciones, velocidades y desplazamientos lineales y angulares. Los sistemas de captura de movimiento optoelectrónicos utilizan varias cámaras de alta velocidad que cualquiera envía señales de luz infrarroja para capturar las reflexiones de marcadores pasivos colocado en el cuerpo o transmiten los datos de movimiento de marcadores activos que contiene infrarrojo diodos electroluminosos. Estos sistemas son considerados como 'gold standard' para la adquisición de datos cinemática1. Estos sistemas son valorados por su alta precisión y flexibilidad en las medidas de diversas tareas. Medidas cinemáticas han demostrado ser eficaces en la captura de pequeños cambios en el rendimiento de movimiento y calidad que puede ser no detectado con tradicional clínica escala2,3. Se ha sugerido que eso cinemática debe utilizarse para la distinción entre verdadera recuperación (restauración de las características de movimiento premorbid) y el uso de patrones de movimiento (alternativa) compensatoria durante la realización de una tarea de4, 5.
Movimientos de la extremidad superior pueden cuantificarse utilizando cinemática del punto final, generalmente obtenida de un marcador de la mano y la cinemática angular de las articulaciones y segmentos (es decir., tronco). Cinemática del punto final proporcionan información sobre trayectorias, velocidad, estrategias de movimiento temporal, precisión, rectitud y suavidad, mientras que la cinemática angular caracterizar patrones de movimiento en términos de articulación espacial y temporal y los ángulos del segmento, velocidades angulares y la coordinación interjoint. Cinemática del punto final, tales como, tiempo de movimiento, velocidad y suavidad son efectivas para capturar el déficit y mejoras en rendimiento de movimiento después de stroke6,7,8 y cinemática angular muestra si la movimientos de las articulaciones y segmentos del cuerpo son óptimos para una tarea específica. Cinemática de las personas con discapacidad a menudo son comparadas con rendimiento de movimiento en los individuos sin discapacidades8,9. Punto final y cinemática angular están correlacionados de manera que un movimiento realizado con velocidad efectiva, suavidad, y precisión requiere control de buen movimiento, coordinación y uso de patrones de movimiento eficaz y óptima. Por ejemplo, un paciente con el movimiento que se mueve lentamente generalmente también muestra disminución de suavidad (mayor número de unidades del movimiento), bajar la velocidad máxima y mayor tronco desplazamiento8. Por otro lado, mejoras en la cinemática del punto final, como la velocidad de movimiento y suavidad pueden ocurrir independientemente de los cambios de estrategias de compensación de movimiento de tronco y brazo10. Se ha establecido que el análisis cinemático pueden proporcionar información adicional y más precisa acerca de cómo se logra la tarea después de una lesión o enfermedad, que a su vez es esencial para un tratamiento individualizado eficaz llegar a la óptima recuperación del motor 11. análisis cinemático es cada vez más utilizado en estudios clínicos para describir los movimientos en personas con deficiencias de la extremidad superior después de la carrera8,9, para evaluar la recuperación del motor7, 12,13 o determinar la efectividad de las intervenciones terapéuticas10,14.
Tareas de movimiento estudiadas a menudo en movimiento se apunta y llegar, aunque el uso de las tareas funcionales que incorporan la manipulación de los objetos cotidianos reales está aumentando1. Desde cinemática de alcanzar dependen de las limitaciones experimentales tales como la selección de objetos y el objetivo de la tarea15, es esencial evaluar los movimientos durante las tareas de útiles y funcionales en el que las dificultades reales del individuo vida diaria se verán reflejada más de cerca.
Así, el objetivo de este trabajo es proporcionar una descripción detallada de un simple protocolo estandarizado utilizado para el análisis cinemático de una tarea útil y funcional, beber tarea, aplicado a las personas con discapacidad de la extremidad superior en etapas agudas y crónicas después del accidente cerebrovascular. Se resumirán los resultados de la validación de este protocolo para personas con discapacidad moderada y suave movimiento.

kinematic analysis using 3d motion capture of drinking task in people with and without upper-extremity impairments

El análisis cinemático es un método eficaz para la evaluación objetiva de los movimientos de la extremidad superior en un espacio tridimensional (3D). Captura de movimiento tridimensional con un sistema de cámara de la optoelectrónica se considera como estándar de oro para análisis de movimiento cinemáticos y se utiliza cada vez más como medida de resultado para evaluar el rendimiento de movimiento y calidad después de una lesión o enfermedad que implican movimientos de la extremidad superior. Este artículo describe un protocolo estandarizado para el análisis cinemático del trabajo aplicado en individuos con deficiencias de la extremidad superior después del accidente cerebrovascular. La tarea de beber incorpora alcanzar, agarrar y levantar una taza de una mesa a tomar una copa, colocar la taza de nuevo y que la mano se desplaza hasta el borde de la mesa. La posición sentada es estandarizada al tamaño del cuerpo del individuo y la tarea se realiza en una velocidad cómoda de su ritmo y movimientos compensatorios no están limitados. La intención es mantener la tarea natural y cerca de una situación de vida real para mejorar la validez ecológica del protocolo. Un sistema de captura de movimiento de cámara 5 se utiliza para obtener posiciones de coordenadas 3D de 9 marcadores reflectantes colocados en puntos anatómicos de la cara, brazo y tronco. La colocación de un simple marcador solo se utiliza para asegurar la viabilidad del protocolo en ajustes clínicos. A la medida software Matlab proporciona análisis rápidos y automatizados de datos de movimiento. Se calcula la cinemática temporal del tiempo del movimiento, velocidad, velocidad máxima, tiempo de velocidad pico y suavidad (número de unidades del movimiento) junto con la cinemática angular espacial de hombro y codo común así como los movimientos del tronco. La tarea de beber es una evaluación válida para las personas con discapacidad moderada y suave de la extremidad superior. El constructo, la validez discriminativa y concurrente junto con sensibilidad (sensibilidad al cambio) de las variables cinemáticas de la tarea de beber han sido establecidas.

El protocolo descrito en este artículo se ha aplicado a las personas con accidente cerebrovascular y controles sanos2,6,8,19,20,21. En total, los datos cinemáticos de 111 individuos con accidente cerebrovascular y 55 controles sanos han sido analizados en diferentes estudios. El deterioro de...

Kinematic Analysis Using 3D Motion Capture of Drinking Task in People With and Without Upper-extremity Impairments

Este protocolo describe un método objetivo para evaluar el rendimiento de movimiento y la función sensoriomotora de la extremidad superior aplicada a las personas con accidente cerebrovascular y controles sanos.

Análisis cinemático con movimiento 3D captura de tarea consumo en personas con y sin discapacidad de extremidad superior

Kinematic analysis is a powerful method for objective assessment of upper extremity movements in a three-dimensional (3D) space. Three-dimensional motion ...

The overall goal of this motion capture methodology is to provide an objective method to evaluate the movement performance quality and sensorimotor function of the upper extremity in individuals with stroke and in healthy controls. This method can help answer key questions in the field of neural rehabilitation, such as how does a stroke influence upper extremity movements and recovery and how this information can be used for selecting effective treatments. The main advantage of this technique is that specific movement deficits and recovery that might be undetected when using traditional clinical scales can be quantified in detail.Assisting us for the demonstration of the procedure today will be Ulla-Britt Bergstrom, who is a occupation therapist working at Neural Rehabilitation Clinic at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. To set the motion capture system, mount four cameras on the wall approximately one to three meters away from the measurement area at the height of 1.5 to 2.5 meters facing the measurement area. Mount one camera on the ceiling just above the measurement area.Placing one of the cameras on the ceiling with viewing angle over the entire measurement area was crucial for the data collection. This resulted in almost 100%successful data collection. Start the camera system.Next, place the L-shaped calibration frame on the table with the short axis in line with the edge of the table and the long axis pointing forward. Then, open the 3-D tracking in data acquisition software. Start calibration by selecting capture, then calibrate.Enter the calibration time of 30 seconds and click, okay. Move the wand in all directions throughout the entire measurement area above the chair and table to ensure that all five cameras capture the wand in as many orientations as possible. Accept calibration residuals below 0.5 millimeters.Now, direct the subject, wearing a sleeveless top, to sit on a height-adjustable chair with her back against the chair's back. The upper arm should be in neutral adducted position. Rest the arm on the table and align the wrist with the edge of the table.The knee, hip, and elbow angles should be approximately 90 degrees. Next, place the retro-reflective passive markers with double adhesive tape on the skeletal landmarks of the tested hand, wrist, elbow, right and left shoulder, thorax, and forehead. After that, place two markers on the cup.In this procedure, place a hard plastic cup with 100 milliliters of water 30 centimeters from the table edge in the midline of the subject. Ask the subject to perform the drinking task in a comfortable, self-paced speed by one, reaching and grasping the cup. Two, lifting the cup from the table towards her mouth.Three, taking as sip. Four, placing the cup back on the table behind a marked line. And five, returning to the initial position with the hand on the edge of the table.It is important to encourage the patient to do the task as naturally as possible and therefore, only the three middle trials will be used for calculation of the kinematics to ensure that the patient is familiar with the testing. Make sure the subject understands the instructions and can reach the cup comfortably with the less affected arm without leaning forward. Prior to each recording, ensure the start position is correct and ask the subject to be ready.Start the capture by selecting, start capture and give verbal instructions to tell her to start. When the subject finishes the task, stop the recording by selecting, stop. Record five trials with a short pause between each trial, starting with the less affected arm.Check if the data acquisition reaches 95 to 100%for each identified marker. When incomplete data are detected, perform extra trials after identifying the problem and adjusting the sitting or marker positions to ensure full visibility of the markers in order to obtain at least three successful trials. This figure shows the representative velocity profile of a healthy control performing the drinking task.A smooth bell-shaped velocity profile with one dominant peak can be seen for each movement phase, which is typical for normal movement. In contrary, this figure shows that a velocity profile of an individual with moderate stroke reveals a less smooth profile with increased number of velocity peaks. Also, the peak velocity in each movement phase is lower and the total movement time is longer.This is the animation of the drinking task performed by a healthy control recorded in real time. The markers on the head, trunk, left arm, and two markers on the drinking cup, along with the movement trajectories are displayed. This is the same animation of an individual with stroke.Notice the less smooth movement trajectories and increased forward movement of the trunk during the drinking task. This is an example of the same task performed by an individual with more severe motor impairment. This person also had spasticity.The visible sub-movements indicate repetitive accelerations and decelerations signifying deficits in movement smoothness. Once mastered, this technique can be done in 10 to 15 minutes by any trained professional without specific technical qualifications. Technical expertise is however, needed to create and develop a program for the data analysis.This procedure is particularly relevant for clinical studies due to a simple set-up with straight-forward data acquisition and analysis of an ecologically valid task. Using this method, we obtain valid, reliable, and responsive kinematics that quantify the key elements of the movement analysis in people with stroke. After it's development, this method paved the way for the researchers in the field of neural rehabilitation to explore upper extremity kinematics in general but also, specifically, during purposeful tasks such as drinking from a glass.The key variables identified in the drinking task for people with stroke, such as movement time, smoothness, elbow angle, velocity, and compensatory trunk displacement are also recognized as central for stroke in other tasks. After watching this video, you should have a good understanding how to set up and carry out a simple and clinically feasible kinematic analysis of an upper extremity task using an optical motion capture system.
