Test–retest reliability of KINARM robot sensorimotor and cognitive assessment: in pediatric ice hockey players

摘要

BackgroundBetter diagnostic and prognostic tools are needed to address issues related to early diagnosis and management of concussion across the continuum of aging but particularly in children and adolescents. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the reliability of robotic technology (KINARM robot) assessments of reaching, position sense, bimanual motor function, visuospatial skills, attention and decision making in youth ice hockey players (ages 10–14).
