Abstract Summary
Stroke is an acute cerebrovascular disease that might cause severe motor function impairment of upper limbs (UL) [1]. Although UL motor function can be improved through effective rehabilitation, deficiencies in fine motor (FM) skills often remain even after patients are discharged from rehabilitation units. FM skills, referring to small and fine movements of the distal UL under muscle-eye coordination, are usually regained by patient self-training at home. The completion time and motion trajectory were recorded to evaluate the subjects’ performance. The results showed that the subjects were significantly difficult to finely position the blocks as the block weight is set to zero. While, the subjects exhibited good performance as the block weight in the range of 2 N to 5 N. It was concluded that the block weight could make differences in the positioning accuracy.
