Performance Metric

Description

Percentage of Task Completion (%):

Ratio between the maximum active distance and the maximum passive distance for each of the five directions expressed as a percentage.

Tracing Error (cm):

Mean distance between each position of the endpoint’s trajectory and the target line.

Smoothness (-):

Spectral arc length (SPARC). The length of the frequency spectrum of the speed profile of a movement. [35].

Speed (cm/s):

The mean speed of a movement.
