Table 1 Key items and results obtained in each step followed in the methodology

From: The BE-UJI hand function activity set: a reduced set of activities for the evaluation of the healthy and pathological hand

Step

Description

Details

1

Extracting kinematic PCs

Results

Set of specific-subject synergies used as a reference in the following steps (Ref-PCs)

2

Ordering ADLs from the least to the greatest effect on Ref-PCs

Results

Vector of ADLs sorted per subject

Set of synergies for each iteration k (k-PCs) and per subject

3

Selecting the minimum number of ADLs per subject

Cutting criteria

Range scores k-PCs vs. Ref-PCs > 85%

Angles k-PCs vs. Ref PCs < 30°

Results

Minimum number of ADLs per subject

4

Selecting the smallest set of ADLs for h and function assessment

Selection criteria

Those ADLs presented in at least half the 27 subjects

Results

BE-UJI set of ADLs

5

Verifying the main kinematic parameters in two different populations: the healthy cohort and patients with HOA

Results

Comparison of motion strategies, ranges of motion and velocities of joints between 20 SHFT tasks and the BE-UJI set
