The aim of this study is to monitor the daily upper limb movement of persons with stroke, and to relate these quantities to measures of recovery and impairment.
This study is part of The Natural History of Stroke Recovery project. In this study the investigators plan to develop, test and validate an algorithm and software for using Inertial Measuring Units (IMUs) to monitor upper limb daily movement. Then, investigators plan to use this system to monitor such activity in stroke patients.
Investigators also plan to develop, test and validate an algorithm and software to test proprioception acuity based on muscle synergy during active and passive movement. Muscle synergy will be determined based on muscles' electrical activity, as measured using surface electromyography (EMG).
Investigators will then test the relation between daily movements of the upper limb in stroke patients, and their recovery/impairment levels, including proprioception acuity.

Action Research Arm Test Score is on a 0-57 scale. High score is better.
| One occasions during the first month following recruitment. |
| Proprioception-1 | The difference between joint angles in an angle matching task. E.g., matching the shoulder angle of a passively moved arm with the contralateral arm. Angles include both anatomical angles and elevation angles. Measured in degrees/radians. | One occasions during the first month following recruitment. |
| Proprioception-2 | Parameters of the correlation (regression) between EMG signals during active and passive movement. Including the constant (in mV), slope (arbitrary units) and R^2 (arbitrary units). | One occasions during the first month following recruitment. |
| Proprioception-3 | Delay between hand movement initiation observed kinematical (acceleration) and kinetically (EMG signal). Measured in msec. | One occasions during the first month following recruitment. |
| Joint range of motion | Maximum and minimum joints range of motion (active and passive). Measured in degrees/radians. | One or two occasions over 1-6 hours each. |
| Synergies | Parameters of the correlation (regression) between the kinematic signals of the different upper extremity segments. Including the slope (arbitrary units) and R^2 (arbitrary units). | One or two occasions over 1-6 hours each. |
| Angular velocity. | Maximum and average angular velocity of the joints during daily activity. Measured in degrees/radians per second | One or two occasions over 1-6 hours each. |
| Movement volume | Volume occupied by the limb segments calculated using the 3D location of the joints. Measured in cm^3. | One or two occasions over 1-6 hours each. |
| Whole body movement time | The total and average (per hour) time of movements of the whole body. Measured in minutes. | One or two occasions over 1-6 hours each. |
