Upper-limb functional assessment after stroke using mirror contraction: A pilot study

作者：

Highlights：

• The sEMG features bias between bilateral arms are changed after stroke.

• Mirror contraction of bilateral arm contributes to EMG-based stroke recognition and severity assessment.

• The bilateral-arms differences of stroke patients are linear correlated with Fugl–Meyer scores.

• Intelligent stroke evaluation based on sEMG analytics can be automated with less involvement of therapists.
