Abstract: Using custom software and an inexpensive novel motion capture sensor, we adapted and automated traditional subjective motor assessments in an integrated system to develop a quantitative motor assessment (QMA) that is quick, low-cost, and highly sensitive.We then established a normative database of unimpaired motor behavior with fifty young, healthy research participants (25 male and 25 female, 18-30 year-old subjects).We expect that the sensitivity, objectivity, low cost, portability, and ease of use make the QMA a useful and accessible tool to clinicians as well as researchers.
