Assessment of upper limb motor control: establishing normative benchmarks for clinical applications

The results validate the feasibility of this approach for quantifying motor control based on the quantitative metrics presented here. Normative values and the ability to detect changes in ROM, CC, and muscle synergy enhance the diagnostic potential of this approach in terms of identifying spasticity, coordination deficits, or abnormal neuromuscular patterns in clinical populations. This study establishes a comprehensive methodology for evaluating upper limb motor control, based on a combination of kinematic and neurophysiological data. These findings offer a solid foundation for developing advanced diagnostic tools and personalized rehabilitation strategies, with potential applications to conditions such as stroke, cerebral palsy, and other neuromotor impairments.
