Confidence intervals and measures of significant change for KINARM Standard Tests
… of this thesis was to assess participants on the KINARM standard tests with the goal of quantifying performance variability across repeat evaluations. Utilizing the KINARM exoskeleton robot, control participants were assessed twice with the maximum time between evaluations set at 1 week. The tasks …

Evaluating Longitudinal Motor Recovery in Non-Human Primates after Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion
… for Normal and Altered Reaching Movement (Kinarm), provide high-resolution, standardized, and objective quantification of upper limb function. This study aims to investigate the longitudinal sensorimotor recovery of NHPs following Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion (MCAO) by assessing …

Robotic evaluation of sensorimotor and cognitive function following exposure to subconcussive impacts
… available. Robotic technology, such as the Kinarm device, presents an opportunity to objectively quantify sensorimotor and cognitive function. Here, military snipers operating 0.50-caliber long-range rifles completed a visually guided reaching (VGR) and reverse visually guided reaching …

Robotic Assessment to Detect Neurological Impairments Associated with Transient Ischemic Attack
… other clinical conditions. In this thesis, the Kinarm robotic assessment system is used to characterize neurological deficits in people who have been diagnosed with TIA, and to understand how neurological deficits associated with TIA evolve over time. The objectives of this thesis were to: 1) …

Efficacy of using robotics to characterize impaired upper-limb function in a non-human primate model of stroke
… reaching (VGR) and a postural perturbation (PP) KINARM exoskeleton robotic task. Stroke NHP task parameters were compared to control performance (2 healthy, age matched controls) for both the affected and unaffected-arms to determine impairment. Results: In the VGR task, stroke animals made …
