Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the validity and reliability of the Selective Control of Upper Extremity Scale (SCUES) in patients with stroke.
Materials And Methods: Forty-two patients with stroke aged 18-75 years, were included in the study. Patients were video-recorded while SCUES was administered. The videos were scored to determine the intrarater and inter-rater reliability. Fugl Meyer Assessment of Upper Extremity (FMA-UE), Box and Block test (BBT) and Brunnstrom Stages of Motor Recovery were measured to evaluate validity of SCUES. Spearman correlation analysis was used to assess the validity of SCUES. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), Kappa (κ) and weighted Kappa (κ) were calculated to determine intrarater and inter-rater reliability.
Results: There were significant positive high correlations between SCUES and FMA-UE and BBT and Brunnstrom upper extremity proximal and distal values (rho = 0.944, = 0.01; rho = 0,875, = 0.01; rho = 0.84, = 0.01, rho = 0.82, = 0.01; respectively) showing validity of SCUES. The ICC value of inter-rater reliability of SCUES was 0,99 (%95 CI: 0,989-0,997, = 0,001) showing excellent reliability. κ and κ w values for inter-rater and intrarater reliability of individual SCUES items were above 0.7 indicating excellent reliability. ICC of SCUES and FMA-UE indicated excellent intrarater reliability (ICC = 0,99; %95 CI: 0,989-0,997, = 0,001; ICC = 0.943; %95 CI: 0.9-0.97, = 0,0001, consecutively).
Conclusions: SCUES showed similar validity and reliability with FMA-UE and SCUES can be used in the evaluation of upper extremity selective motor control in patients with stroke.

Error compensation in a redundant system during 'failure' of individual motor elements.

A characteristic feature of redundancy in the motor system is the ability to compensate for the failure of individual motor elements without affecting task performance. In this study, we examined the pattern and variability in error compensation between motor elements during a virtual task. Participants performed a redundant cursor control task with finger movements.

Background: Myoelectric pattern recognition (MPR) combines multiple surface electromyography channels with a machine learning algorithm to decode motor intention with an aim to enhance upper limb function after stroke. This study aims to determine the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a novel intervention combining MPR, virtual reality (VR), and serious gaming to improve upper limb function in people with chronic stroke.
Methods: In this single case experimental A-B-A design study, six individuals with chronic stroke and moderate to severe upper limb impairment completed 18, 2 h sessions, 3 times a week.

Myoelectric control has emerged as a promising approach for a wide range of applications, including controlling limb prosthetics, teleoperating robots and enabling immersive interactions in the Metaverse. However, the accuracy and robustness of myoelectric control systems are often affected by various factors, including muscle fatigue, perspiration, drifts in electrode positions and changes in arm position. The latter has received less attention despite its significant impact on signal quality and decoding accuracy.
