Abstract Background In the evaluation of upper limb impairment post stroke there remains a gap between detailed kinematic analyses with expensive motion capturing systems and common clinical assessment tests. In particular although many clinical tests evaluate the performance of functional tasks metrics to characterise upper limb kinematics are generally not applicable to such tasks and very limited in scope. This paper reports on a novel user-friendly methodology that allows for the assessment of both signal magnitude and .
