Abstract
For upper limb prosthetic users, monitoring the functional use of the upper extremities (UE) in practical situations is essential to maximize recovery interventions. The precise tracking of neurologic and functional recovery, however, can be hampered by the distance between a patient’s home and the clinical settings. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health’s performance domain, which refers to how people with UE amputations and disabilities carry out activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental (iADLs) in their current environment, must therefore be captured by outcome measures of UE function that have been developed and validated. To fill this gap, a Smart Kitchen has recently been developed at EPFL, at the TNE laboratory, in the Campus Biotech (Geneva).
The Smart Kitchen is a fully equipped and functional kitchen, whose goal is to simulate the home environment and carry out experiments with healthy volunteers and individuals with UE impairments in a controlled setting
