Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most prevalent causes of neurological disability in young and middle-aged adults, presenting through diverse symptoms, including primarily motor disruptions such as fatigue, coordination issues and even paralysis. The latter impairments lead to a deterioration of quality of life, safety, autonomy. In everyday life upper limbs motor abilities play a crucial role in performing typical activities of domestic environments and the ability to complete specific tasks is synonymous with individual functional independence. In several studies, the assessment of upper limb motor functions relies on the use of clinical scales or conventional methods such as optoelectronic system.
However, these methods present some limits as they are based on standard clinical tasks conducted in a laboratory setting, and above all, not fully reflecting daily-life activities performances
