Three-dimensional analysis of performance of an upper limb functional task among adults with dyskinetic cerebral palsy

Highlights • We analyzed upper limb movements of adults with dyskinetic CP (DCP) during brining a mug to mouth task. • We used three-dimensional angular and spatiotemporal kinematics. • DCP adults showed higher time to perform the different movement phases and movements were less smooth. • DCP adult...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • We analyzed upper limb movements of adults with dyskinetic CP (DCP) during brining a mug to mouth task. • We used three-dimensional angular and spatiotemporal kinematics. • DCP adults showed higher time to perform the different movement phases and movements were less smooth. • DCP adults performed the task with reduced range of movement in comparison to the healthy young adults.
