Upper limb assessment of people with multiple sclerosis with the use of a haptic nine hole peg-board test
(Affiliation: Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, CyprusCorrespondence Address: Xydas, E. G.Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of CyprusCyprus, 2009)In this work, a nine-hole peg-board test (NHPT) arrangement is implemented in a Virtual Environment with the use of a Haptic Interface that has the form of a small robotic arm. The Haptic NHPT is used as a mean for ...
