Differentiating Motor Coordination in Children with Cerebral Palsy and Typically Developing Populations Through Exploratory Factor Analysis of Robotic Assessments |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
General motor and executive functions are integral for tasks of daily living and are typically assessed when quantifying impairment of an individual. Robotic tasks offer highly repeatable and objective measures of motor and cognitive function. Additionally, robotic tasks and measures have been used successfully to quantify impairment of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Many robotic tasks include multiple performance parameters, so interpretation of results and identification of impairment can be difficult, especially when multiple tasks are completed. This study used exploratory factor analysis to investigate a potential set of quantitative models of motor and cognitive function in children, and compare performance of participants with CP to these models. The three calculated factors achieved strong differentiation between participants with mild CP and the typically developing population. This demonstrates the feasibility of these factors to quantify impairment and track improvements related to therapies. |
