Filter by:Physical and cognitive changes provoked by a pathology worsen the functional capability of the individual making it more difficult to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and causing dependency and/or disability. There are standardized observational tests for the clinical assessment of the degree of functional limitation in basic or instrumental ADLs (e.g., Assessment Motor and Process Skills - AMPS). On the other hand, all these tests bear the problem of the subjectivity of the evaluator in the analysis. The presence of the evaluator in the test may have an influence in the way a subject performs ADLs. The goal of the project is to develop a methodology to design, implement and validate automatic clinical tests of functional limitation, that: 1) give objective assessments with clinical validity, and 2) remove the interference in the test execution caused by the physical presence of the evaluator.
