TOUCHSCREEN-BASED ASSESSMENT OF UPPER LIMB KINEMATICS AFTER STROKE: RELIABILITY, VALIDITY AND SENSITIVITY TO MOTOR IMPAIRMENT

Touchscreen-based assessment of upper limb kinematics after stroke: Reliability, validity and sensitivity to motor impairment

Abstract Background Conventional clinical tools for assessing upper limb motor function often lack the sensitivity and specificity needed to detect subtle changes in motor performance and may be subject to bias.Kinematic assessment offers a potential solution by providing objective, precise, and detailed data on movement quality.However, it is typi

Tree-dwelling bats as indicators of forest landscapes

Adopting standalone indicators to characterise landscape composition is vital because it allows for targeted assessments without surveying entire communities.We hypothesised that barbastelle bat (Barbastella barbastellus) presence would provide sufficient indication power to characterise forest landscapes in Italy and employed logistic regression t
