ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for testing and evaluation of physical coordination and dexterity in occupational rehabilitation or physical therapy for injury or illness, and for training of retarded or developmentally delayed or handicapped persons. The person being tested attempts to traverse a test pattern with a targeting image or to plot coordinates and connect line segments from instructions, using left and right hands or feet to control motion or plot coordinates in at least two dimensions. Controls can be oriented and configured to test and train motor skills, motions and coordination requirements common to workplace, home or recreational activities. A permanent trace record of the subject's effort, made in the same orientation and scale as the test pattern, provides a means by which test results can be compared directly to the test standard, to previous and later recorded traces by the same subject, and to the traces of other subjects.
