Movement disorders

The Ruhr Hand Motion Catalog of Human Center-Out Transport Trajectories [1] is a compilation of three-dimensional task-space motion data simultaneously measured by two motion tracking systems. The first one, an optical motion capture system, provided robust reference data. The second recording system consisted of a single state-of-the-art IMU to demonstrate the feasibility of portable applications. The transport object was moved in 3D space from a unified start position to one of nine target positions, equidistantly aligned on a semicircle. Ten trials were performed per target and hand, result
