Figures & data
A flow chart shows that 25 patients were screened with 4 excluded. 21 patients took part in the study. Due to a data collection failure with one patient 20 patients were included in the final analysis.
A picture shows a patient sitting on a chair at a height adjusted table with a webcam positioned to collect data from their arm movements. Patients move their hand forward to reach a target button while the webcam tracks their movements and sends the kinematic movement information into a machine learning system for processing.
A bar chart showing the duration of abnormal movement for 20 patients undertaking 50 repetitions with auditory feedback compared to 50 repetitions with no feedback. There is a significant reduction in the duration of abnormal movement with feedback.
A line chart plotting the duration of abnormal movement for each patient individually both with and without feedback. A median line shows the duration of abnormal movement is around 20% less with feedback comparted to without feedback with upper and lower quartiles showing a similar slope. However, there is variability in the data with some patients not benefitting from the feedback and some patients who show floor effects.
