Assessment of arm movements during gait in stroke – The Arm Posture Score

Highlights • The Arm Posture Score (APS) is a comprehensive index to quantify arm swing in gait. • We applied the APS to persons with stroke and age- and gender-matched controls. • The APS captured pathological arm swing of the affected arm in the stroke group. • APS measures, with and without rotat...

Summary:Highlights • The Arm Posture Score (APS) is a comprehensive index to quantify arm swing in gait. • We applied the APS to persons with stroke and age- and gender-matched controls. • The APS captured pathological arm swing of the affected arm in the stroke group. • APS measures, with and without rotational components, are useful indices in stroke. • Complementary kinematics are needed when interpreting the single value of the APS.
