From: Movement distributions of stroke survivors exhibit distinct patterns that evolve with training
Comparison of Groups and Effect of Training. The coefficient of determination R2 indicated the goodness of fit (95 % CI across subjects) of multivariate normal functions to observed histograms of kinematic variables (acceleration shown) for 10 stroke survivors (blue) and 10 age-matched control participants (grey). With one model component, Day-3 (dark blue) exhibited worse fit (p = 0.008, paired t-test, upper plot) compared to Day-1 (light blue). Increasing components (lower plot) yielded incrementally improved fit with stroke survivors compared to the control group (up to 9 versus 5 components). These trends suggest that stroke survivors exhibited overall more complex distributions of acceleration, and that extended practice increased that complexity
