Human Computer Interaction for Complex Machine Learning
… the complex relationship between the changes in movement functionality to movement quality. I designed and evaluated the Tacit Computable Empowering methodology across two domains: in-home rehabilitation and clinical assessment. My methodology has three main objectives: first, to transform tacit …

Validation and Examination of Upper Extremity Kinematics in Typically Developing Children During the Box and Blocks Functional Test using Marker-based and Markerless Technology
… use functional tasks to examine improvement in movement quality. However, some of these tasks, such as the Box and Block test (BBT), which is examined in this study, rely on scoring to assess motor improvement. This scoring method can be misleading due to the possibility of movement compensation …
