Abstract
Based on three-dimensional analysis, the present study compared two statistical approaches (features and Statistical Parametric Mapping, SPM) to verify differences in the elbow flexion/extension between hemiparetic (non- paretic UL) and age-gender matched healthy subjects (dominant UL) during drinking task. Thirteen chronic hemiparetic and age-gender matched healthy subjects performed drinking task at self-selected speed, which was divided into four phases (reaching, transporting the glass to mouth, transporting the glass to table, returning to initial position). Independent t test was used to compare scalar parameter (starting angle in the reaching phase, point to task achievement - PTA, maximum and minimum angles, and range of motion - ROM) of elbow motion. SPM two-sample t test was used to compare mean kinematic waveforms of elbow for each time-normalized phase between groups. An alpha level of 0.05 was considered. SPM analyses provided a more comprehensive understanding about the elbow motion strategies throughout all phases of task.
