The present assessment of partially-paralysed victims of stroke is complicated by a lack of objective measurement. A tracking task of the type widely used to measure the performance of skilled operators in a manual control taks is used here to encourage controlled movement in the semiparalysed arm. Quantitative measures derived from such tests provide sensitive indication of trends in performance during rehabilitation, which cannot be detected by routine clinical examination.SommaireÀ présent, le domaine de l’évaluation des victimes partiellement paralysées par les attaques, est compliqué, faute de mesurage objectif. Ici, on se sert d’une ‘tâche de piste’, du type beaucoup utilisé pour mesurer la performance d’opérateurs spécialisés, qui font une tâche de contrôle manuelle pour encourager le mouvement contrôlé dans le bras demi-paralysé. Des mesures quantitatives obtenus par de telles épreuves, donnent une indication sensible des tendances de performance pendant la rééducation, qu’on ne peut pas détecter a l’examen clinique courant.
