Assessment of Interlimb Coordination in Children and Adults with Hemiplegia

The NRL lab worked in collaboration with Dr. Susan V.  Duff (PI) from Chapman University, Irvine, CA, Dr. Eric Wade (co-investigator), University of Tennessee Knoxville, TN, and Heather Ruthrauff, MS, OTR/L on this project, designed to identify unique features of interlimb coordination during unimanual, bimanual asymmetric or bimanual symmetric tasks in children and adults with hemiparesis. The goal of this project was to design and test an objective measure of cooperative limb function for use in the home and community setting. This study is funded by the APTA Academy of Hand and Upper Extremity Physical Therapy Leslie Harris Lindsey Grant for Research in the Hand and Upper Quadrant award and the American Society for Neurorehabilitation Seed Funding for Collaborative Clinical Research Projects.
