Abstract

The Activities of Daily Living (ADL) are used to refer the daily self care activities. Stroke survivors usually experience an impairment in the functionality limbs being affected their independent life. A complete assessment of a patient implies functional and analytic evaluation. However, the joints range cannot be always measured due to the complexity of the patient limbs. The aim of this paper is to present the results acquired from a new tool being able to quantify objectively the functional level of joints movement during ADLs. Twelve healthy subjects had participated in this trial. Four ADL were performed to measure and evaluate the maximum range reached in those activities.
